7E0422885B Volkswagen OIL COOLER

Basically, an oil cooler does exactly what it sounds like – it cools your engine oil. Engine oil gets really hot, especially if you’re doing a lot of stop – and – go driving, towing, or even just driving hard. This part takes that hot oil and runs it through a small radiator, usually up front where it gets airflow, to bring the temperature down before it cycles back through the engine. It’s a secondary cooling system for your oil, working alongside your radiator. Think of your engine oil as your engine’s lifeblood. It lubricates everything, keeps things moving smoothly, and helps pull heat away from critical parts. The oil cooler sits in the oil circulation system, typically replacing the oil filter adapter or being a separate unit plumbed in line. It doesn’t affect steering directly, but it's grouped with steering and suspension parts because those systems often work hard alongside the engine and generate heat too. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, if you're looking. Hot oil breaks down faster. It loses its lubricating properties, which leads to increased wear and tear on your engine’s internal parts. An oil cooler helps keep the oil at a consistent, optimal temperature, extending its life and protecting your engine. You’ll notice if your oil cooler is failing because your oil temperature gauge might climb higher than normal, especially under load. Eventually, if it gets really bad, you could experience decreased engine performance or even engine damage. It’s a relatively simple part, but a really important one for long – term engine health, especially if you put your vehicle through tough conditions. Affordable and reliable: Oil Cooler (MPN 7E0422885B) has a 12-month warranty!
