was it easy to install the oil cooler?

[eden7842]

Which 1? :-P they were both easy

[Huddley_Clubby]

The left one is the oil cooler isn't it? and yeah is it just weld some brackets in, connect the hoses and your done? or do you need to put in more oil because of the extra space? and how much if you do?

Both units are oil coolers

Second one can't be an oil cooler as it doesn't have oil running through it. Well i hope it doesn't.

Just using an oil cooler as an extra radiator?

[eden7842]

Just bolt on, run the engine up and check the level.

But dont put one on unless u need it. It wil do more harm than good.

And yes but 1s water

[Huddley_Clubby]

Just out of curiosity... what would the harmful things be if i didn't need one? and what would the reasons for needing one?

[eden7842]

Ur oil wuld be too cool which wuld mean it wuldent get to a good working temp, especilly in this cold wether, u need a temp gauge to know for sure if u need 1

[Huddley_Clubby]

ahhh... i might skip out on it then, until i upgrade the engine a bit more.

[MGBailey007]

Good idea using a oil cooler for a extra rad. Never thought of that, might have to give that a go

[MiniMadNox]

Where do i start
