What are the Oil Cooler Lines all about?

You won’t find oil cooler lines on all engines. They’re more prominent on supercharged and turbocharged engines, as well as on larger engines that require extra oil cooling, such as older full-sized SUVs. These lines run to an oil cooler, which works a lot like your car’s radiator, allowing air to remove excess heat before the oil is sent back into the engine. In most of these instances, the oil cooler lines will be solid metal tubes because the oil is pressurized, though some have reinforced rubber hose sections as well. If the oil cooler lines are leaking, the oil level can drop quickly, causing possible internal engine damage.

Keep in mind:

Oil cooler lines are pressurized when the engine is operating, and pressure can remain in the lines even after the engine is turned off.
Leaking or clogged oil cooler lines can compromise the operation and safety of your engine.
It may be wise to replace both the oil cooler lines and the fittings. Some lines are actually connected to the fittings, so replacement is mandatory.
If the lines go to an oil cooler, it may be necessary to replace the oil cooler as well, particularly if the damage is due to debris buildup.

How it's done:

The vehicle is allowed to cool. The vehicle is raised and secured on jack stands. A drain pan is placed under the oil cooler lines.
The two oil cooler clamps and lines are disconnected and the excess oil is allowed to drain. The defective oil cooler lines are removed from the oil filter housing and removed from the vehicle.
The new oil cooler lines are installed to the oil filter housing and secured with new clamps. The two oil cooler lines are connected and secured with new clamps to the oil cooler.
The vehicle is started and checked for oil leaks then lowered off of the jack stands. The oil level is checked and topped off with the correct oil.
The vehicle is road tested for proper operation and the cooler lines are rechecked for any signs of leakage.

Our recommendation:

We recommend that you follow your automaker’s recommendations on oil changes and oil cooler service. There is no set lifespan for oil cooler lines, and a properly maintained engine will never need to have them replaced. Inspection by one of our expert mechanics for proper operation, obstruction or deterioration is recommended.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Oil Cooler Lines?

Leaking oil around the oil cooler line fittings
Bends, crimps or damage to the lines

How important is this service?

Because engine oil is a vital consideration for multiple components, replacing damaged, worn or clogged oil cooler lines is essential. Work with our professional mechanics to ensure safety, the right parts, and a proper diagnosis of both the cause and the extent of the damage.

Chevrolet K1500 V8-5.7L - Car is not starting - Seattle, Washington

Cesar arrived 2 1/2 hours late, although, he did text indicating that he would not make the scheduled appointment. Once he arrived, he diagnosed my truck's failure to start within 10 minutes, gave me a quote for the repair, identified an unrelated coolant loss, spotted the likely leak, and scheduled an appointment for the repairs within the next five minutes. I didn't mind the missed appointment much. I have a cool supervisor who doesn't sweat the small stuff like showing up for work on time.

Chevrolet K1500 V8-5.7L - ignition control module - Berkeley Heights, New Jersey

I' m, not a happy camper! Again after Todays service changing another part but my truck still dose not start! Attila. This YM mechanic, put in the ignition control module but my truck still does not start! he said he did a curtsies' diagnostic of the ignition power wiring and he said the wiring was good power with signal and ground from key switch to ignition coil but my truck still does not start! I can't keep paying Your Mechanic for work that was not properly diagnosed with no positive results and I lost use of my truck since this whole repair scenario started with our mechanic. If this simple repair is m not corrected in the next 3 days I will have no choice but to hire a competent local shop to tow my pick up truck to there shop and make the necessary repairs and back charge Your mechanic for the difference in costs to properly repair my pick up truck and return it to me in running condition..
