The stacked-plate heat exchanger included is the most effective type of oil cooler, primarily because of its increased surface area. Allowing fluid to spread out over this larger surface area decreases the time required for heat transfer to take place, resulting in ultimate efficiency.
The spin-on adapter in this kit allows for the external oil lines necessary to install an engine cooler by converting your vehicle's oil-filter landing into a passageway. Because the adapter mounts where your filter normally is, you will have to use the mount provided to move your oil filter to another location.

Two big problems. First, the sandwich plate adapter continues to work loose causeing an oil leak. I've removed the filter and retourqed to Derale specs a couple of times and it eash time after a couple of days it starts to leak again. Derale tech support was not at all helpful, they said, hmmmm, maybe tighen it a litte more, which I did, and it didn't help. Second issue is this cooler is very small, I installed it on a Ram 1500 5.7l and it made no noticable difference in the engine oil tempure when towing. I considered buying a larger cooler core and asked Derale tech support for some sizing guidance and their best response was put as big a one as will fit. Lot of science going on there. Couldn't give me any information regarding input and output temps vs flow, sizeing guidelines by displacement, nothing, no data of any kind seemed available. I'll make one more attempt to reseal, retighten, try a new o-ring etc. It doesn't work it's coming off and going in the trash. Overall the kit is sized for a very, very small application, maybe your riding lawn mower, that should be indicated. On a full size 1/2ton pickup this does next to nothing for your oil temp. Unfortunately tech support from Derale was no help whatsoever and showed not interest in helping trouble shoot or solve the problem. Very disappointing, I'd look else where.
I am extremely disappointed in this product. Installation has been a nightmare, even being someone that has automotive experience.
From etrailer.com's recommendations to other customers I purchased this oil cooler for my 2010 Dodge Journey.
DON'T!
Unless you have access to some way to make a custom mounting bracket mounting is impossible. This CANNOT be mounted using the supplied method due to the stock cooling fan mounting shroud.
After making my own mounting brackets from aluminum this cooler has done nothing but leak.
It uses adapters, attached to adapters to make the connections to the tank, they leak.
To attach the lines to the sandwich plate the instruct you to use teflon tape, or a similar sealant. With the temperatures and pressures involved keeping this from leaking took several attempts, not to mention oil sprayed all over the underside of my vehicle, including my brakes, and the front of my brand new trailer.
Overall a very, very disappointing experience with this product.
Installed the Derale engine oil cooler today. Excellent kit installed without any problems. Parts were very complete. I am pleased with the proiduct.
I bought this engine oil cooler so I could pull my 21 foot boat with my 2016 Ford Explorer. I am very pleased with how it works. It was easy to install even with having to remove the bumper cover so I could attach it to the front of the radiator. I would buy another one if I ever needed to. I would also buy from etrailer again, they have great prices and products.
sandwich plate is poor quality, o-ring doesnt seal well. had to buy another companies sandwich plate to stop the leak.
Very fast service. Hose length was spot on. Will be towing this next week and will see the difference from before.
Great product
