  • 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.

  • @justaddafan
    @justaddafan 3 года назад +43

    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 года назад +42

    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! 💪🏽🛠

    • @fourocker
      @fourocker 2 года назад +3

      I have to agree, in industry as a fitter/machinist I use Loctite hydraulic sealant to assemble pneumatic and obviously hydraulic fittings and connections , it takes away a large portion of the vibration loosening risk especially due to the heat cycles of the oil.

    • @devo3243
      @devo3243 2 года назад +5

      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.

On every single VQ the very first bolt on was a thermostatic oil cooler, with the exception of my current Red Sport, keeping fluids at optimum operating temps and pressure is critical no matter the build or who makes it, imo transmission temps typically get ignored by most, I'm a believer in those as well!

    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.

    Thanks for the tip about filling the new cooler with oil before installing, you might have saved my 5.0. Just a thought for people with daily sports cars, look at where the oil cooler goes before buying/installing. In this video you can see it is very near the bottom of the car. If you pick up a rock or hit a pothole and you’re not looking at your oil pressure, you’re engine will be toast.

    • @QuincyStick
      @QuincyStick Год назад

      honestly engines can idle without oil just fine given the extremely low load on them, so I don't think it would've killed your car. Also it is important to note the mounting location prior to purchasing, however this particular one mounts higher than the subframe so if anything were to it the cooler and cause damage, you've also damaged your subframe, power steering rack and most likely your radiator too.

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.
