The Oil Cooler is an important component of a vehicle’s engine lubrication system.
🔧 Description:
It is a heat exchanger that helps lower the temperature of engine oil.
Typically made of aluminum or high-grade metal for efficient heat transfer.
Works by circulating oil through thin tubes or fins, dissipating heat to air or coolant.
✅ Functions:
Reduces engine oil temperature to prevent overheating.
Maintains proper viscosity of the oil for effective lubrication.
Protects engine components from wear and damage due to excessive heat.
Supports longer engine life and consistent performance.
⚠️ Symptoms of a Faulty Oil Cooler:
Engine overheating or high oil temperature warnings.
Oil leaks near the cooler.
Reduced engine performance.
Contaminated oil (coolant mixing with oil in some types).
🚗 Importance:
A properly functioning oil cooler ensures efficient lubrication, engine protection, and long-term reliability. Failure can lead to engine damage and costly repairs.
