Current Trend In Oil Cooler Line-sets

Here are several current Aftermarket oil-cooler trends that are all too common.

• It is impractical to keep an inventory of specialized oil cooler line-sets on hand at the Mechanics level of repair. Why try?  Seemingly EVERY car that needs oil cooler line repair has a different line-set. This means a trip to and from the dealer if they have it in stock, possibly a specialized order with your favorite internet provider. And let us not forget the shipping time. A two hour fix can turn into a 1 or 2 day wait and then a two hour fix.  Wasteful!

• Many brand new crate engines, and OE replacement transmissions  are made and shipped with Oetiker Quick-connector fittings in the oil cooler ports. Drop it in your car and… - you guessed it there is no OE line-set. You have to plumb your own... Often you unscrew the Oetiker QC and throw it out ???  

• Trade-in vehicles - the older car market is often in need of repairs due to lack of OEM support anywhere. The flood of cheap swap-out parts and replacement burner parts have become a new norm.  Most car repairs may be done with good intentions, but many times the shiny aftermarket parts only last from a few weeks to a year. Let the buyer beware!

Quality parts are the key to a lasting effort. Something as simple as fresh plumbing mated with reputable replacement parts often will help this car last for many more years.
