  • There are many things that can overheat in a car, BUT trust me when I say that your engine oil should not be one of those things! So what can actually cause your engine oil to overheat, what is a safe range of operating temperatures, and if it is overheating how do you fix it? Today we’re talking oil coolers! They look cool, we all want them, but are they necessary? Just click the play button, what ya doin!

      More oil isn't always good.
      There's a low and high, you don't have to be on the high side.
      My Yd25 takes 4.7L total but I only put 4.4L in
      That doesn't not affect the engine at all, and being a high flow turbo diesel, it like all diesels is subject to high crank case pressure which will increase sump pressure, and that oil pressure goes back Into the turbo and breaks the seals.
      It can happen, and did happen to me.
      I avoid this issue by using less oil.. simple.
      Don't always go to the H on the dipstick if you have a turbo.

    If you put the lines on the oil cooler with oil in it before mounting it, you will keep from spilling oil while mounting. Also, you should use some blue thread locker on the sandwich plate pass-through bolt to make sure that it stays on when you remove the oil filter during oil changes.

  • @j.dsanchez3010
    @j.dsanchez3010 3 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    Be careful with putting oil on the threads, although it will make it easier to not mess them up and strip them, it could also cause the screw to loosen up over time. I would recommend to use semi or (soft) thread locker, when you first apply it it will help with not messing up the dreads but then after you tighten it, it will seal and prevent your bolt from coming out. This has helped me out a lot in the field, thought I would mention and keep wrenching guys! 💪🏽🛠

      Engine oil is fine to put on bolts. Infact, many bolts are supposed to be torqued 'Wet'. Particularly a lot of head bolts, conrod bolts ect. Oil won't hurt, bolts and fittings won't come loose if they are properly torqued. However, things like anti-sieze are another story.

      @@fourocker This "hydraulic" system will never see the day it reaches over 80psi, not 8,000psi. Those head bolts will be receiving not only more vibration as they are directly connected to the thing making said vibration, but experience higher temperatures as they are almost directly in contact with the bore (although the coolant jacket as well). The fact that bolt and stud stretch is a factor when considering head bolt and main cap torque is enough to tell me the head bolts are undergoing greater forces pulling the head of the bolt and the piece they are threaded to apart than these aluminum AN fittings.

    A consideration not many people think about:
    Your OEM oil pump may not be strong enough for the additional flow needed for the oil cooler. You MAY see an oil pressure drop as a result of this kind of install. Answer is either a larger oil pump or an aftermarket electric pump. Heard of people using a scavenging pump to keep pressure up through the line (like a turbo). Truly is a YMMV thing though, not all vehicles will have an issue and even those that do, may not be worth worrying about if the pressure drop is small.

    We had an MG B at work a year ago. There was an oil cooler in it, except for some reason it came half side braided line, half oil hose with hose clamps. After we did the engine rebuild the boss had a lap and was happy. The owner paid, drove off and must've hit some hella RPM on the freeway (twin webbers) because the basic bitch hose came off and ran him dry. Didn't take long for a second rebuilt (only needed main bearings) but we had the cooler feed system upgraded to both new braided hose.

    Every 20 deg. F drop in oil temp, effectively doubles oil life.
    I installed an oil cooler a Dodge Caravan four cylinder, with an electric cooling fan. It kept the engine running so cool, you could open the radiator cap at after running it in rush hour traffic and it would NOT blow up steam in your face. Not recommended but you get the point.

    That's right it does depend on what you have going on. My truck is a 1994 Chevy 1500 4x4. It comes from the factory with an oil cooler. The oil cooler lines fail, OFTEN. The job is a hugely messy operation so I always take it to the shop to have it done. This time I will have him delete the lines completely and plug the holes near the oil filter. I live on the coast of Oregon and don't pull a heavy trailer. This will in no way affect the life of my engine.
