2008 Subaru Tribeca Oil Cooler Gasket Replacement

Oil cooler gasket replacement: I notice I'd have to keep topping off my oil everyweek. Dealer say the oil cooler gasket needed to replace.
I'm not a pro mechanic, I just know what I need to know to get my car done. If there's anything I miss let me know. Thanks for watching.

My 06 Tribeca has developed the same problem. Per the repair manual, they advise to drain the coolant if you intend to take off the entire oil cooler, but as you've shown, it's not really necessary. By the way, the tightening torque on the oil cooler bolt is 40 ft-lbs. Thanks for sharing.

EJ257IHI good to know about the torque. Thanks

This is exactly the problem on my 2007 Tribeca. Since I have to take the vehicle in for the hood latch recall, I might as well just let the dealership service department replace the gasket. Thanks for the video!!

[@rmborlase]

great video. correct torque is 40 lb/ft. I also dropped the coolant pipe to have easier time accessing the gasket.

[@MrSoulMonk]

Thanks for the detailed posting. I have an '04 Outback that is doing the same thing. I will tackle this when I change my oil in a month or two.

Great video.Solved the leak around the filter. Thanks

[@amptekDnB]

Very helpful! Going to get my gasket fixed soon.

[@mehnlo]

Yes, leak is solved to this day.

Nice, but please use a Subaru oil filter! They are pretty cheap and really the best
I've tried them all - K&N, Mann, Bosch, Ryco.

great job. question did anyone have done the valve cover yet ? and what r the torque specs if u know

[@Raj-cf6fe]

hii
I own a Tribeca 2011 model which i purchased pre owned. The audio and aircon panel lights, steering control lights, gear shift lights and other dash light dont light up. Please help

[@reality8031]

Would you happen to know where the automatic transmission filter is located inside or outside?

[@NightmareBeatz419]

Mine was leaking also took a look under car bcuz temperature gauge kept rising and falling so I checked oil do u think tht can cause the temperature gauge to rise and fall when the oil is empty?

Hi guys
I have tribeca 06 with intermittent overheating and slowly decreasing coolant level, now it got overheated and white smoke out of the exhaust, checked the oil cap and it had white stuff on it,
Do you think that’s head gasket?
Thanks

[@mehnlo]

Mike So sounds like headgasket needs to be replaced.

[@bioscientific1]

Thanks mehnlo

[@michaelhinchey]

Do I need to add some sort of glue like hiteck permatex to hold the gasket in?

[@mehnlo]

Michael Hinchey i didn't use any glue nor heard anyone else that use glue.

[@michaelhinchey]

OK. There are sites explaining to use some silicone adhesive for gaskets. Thx

[@mehnlo]

Michael Hinchey when I took the old one off, there were no traces of adhesive or silicone.

[@lgt304]

Oil, u forgot oil, at least didn't show or hear you say u topped it off with what drained out ..
