Expert Answers about Engine Oil Coolers


  • What is the Filter Thread Size on a 2006 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Liter V-8 for an Engine Oil Cooler
  • I spoke with my contact at Derale, the manufacturer, to verify what thread size is used on your 2006 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7L V-8. He stated that it is the 3/4 inch - 16, like you referenced. For an oil cooler that will fit your truck, he recommended the Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler Kit with Sandwich Adapter (Multiple Threads), # D15602, for a stacked-plate design. For a tube and fin design, go with the Derale Tube-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit with Sandwich Adapter (Multiple Threads),...

  • Recommendation for a Transmission Cooler On a 1992 Dodge B250 Van Towing Landscape Trailers
  • Yes, the Derale Transmission Coolers for the 1992 Van by Dodge, item # D13504, would be a great choice for cooling your transmission while towing. The only suggestion I would make is that you measure the space available in front of your radiator or a/c condenser to make sure there is space for the install. I am sure there is room on your van but double check to be safe. The overall dimensions of the # D13504 Transmission Cooler are 11 inches wide by 12 inches tall and 7/8 inches thick. This...

  • Parts to Equip 2015 Honda Odyssey to Tow 2017 Winnebago Micro Minnie 1700BH Travel Trailer
  • Winnebago's 2017 Micro Minnie 1700BH single axle travel trailer has a gross weight (GVWR) of 3800-lbs which is the most the trailer can weigh when loaded up for a trip. This means full water and propane tanks, all your food and supplies in place, etc. The towing spec for the 2015 Honda Odyssey shows a maximum allowable trailer weight of 3500-lbs. This towing capacity presumes the car has only 2 occupants and the capacity drops as more passengers and cargo are added to the vehicle. If you...

  • Does Transmission Cooler increase Towing Capacity
  • Transmission coolers will prolong the life of a transmission but they do not add towing capacity. I would highly recommend the Derale transmission cooler part # D13503 for your 2003 Ford F-150 but you would not be able to increase your towing capacity by using it.

  • How Much Extra Fluid is Needed for Class V Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Engine Cooler Kit w/ Fan
  • For whatever reason Derale likes to keep that a secret - they say that since coolant will be lost during install they don't have a number. With that being said, we have found that the Class III Series 8000 # D13503 will hold about 5-1/2 to 6 ounces so since the cooler that comes with the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Engine Cooler Kit w/ Fan # D15660 you're looking at has similar dimensions I'd say you can anticipate about the same.

  • Is Additional Transmission Fluid Needed When Installing Transmission Cooler on a 2005 Chevy Equinox
  • The amount of additional fluid needed, if any, when installing a supplemental transmission cooler is going to vary from vehicle to vehicle and because not all installations are the same. Once installed all you have to do is start the engine, put the vehicle in gear for a few seconds, return to park then check for leaks. If you do not see leaks, check the fluid with the engine still running and add fluid as needed. The volume of a transmission coolers does not necessarily equal the amount...

  • How Much Can I Tow With a 2017 Ford Explorer Without Factory Tow Package?
  • According to the Owners manual for your 2017 Ford Explorer you are rated to tow up to 2,000lbs without a factory installed tow package. Be sure to check your owners manual for your exact engine and driveline to verify you do not exceed the GCWR. You should not need to add anything else to your Explorer for your 400lb trailer. You can reach out to your Ford dealer to determine if you can install parts like a Transmission Cooler # D13503 to increase the towing capacity if you decide to tow...

  • Cooler Options to Prepare 2011 Buick Enclave CXL for Trailer Towing
  • According to the online information I found for your 2011 Buick Enclave CXL with front-wheel-drive, the vehicle is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 2000-lbs unless it is equipped with the trailer towing package, in which case its towing capacity increases to 4500-lbs. Both of the 2-inch hitches we offer for your Enclave have a 5000-lb towing capacity but since the vehicle is rated lower, that lower vehicle towing capacity becomes your actual working limit. The hitch I recommend is...

  • Towing Capacity of 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with 5.3-liter V8 Engine
  • The best place to confirm the towing capacity of your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with 5.3-liter V8 engine is the printed owner's manual. This will reflect the capacity of your specific pickup with the particular mix of equipment installed on it at the factory, including the 3.42 differential. I reviewed the online trailering guide on the Chevrolet website and at most a properly-equipped 1500 can tow 12,000-lbs. But your 5.3L V8 crew cab 4x4 with 3.42 differential is shown as...

  • Can Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31068 for a 2009 Ford F-150 Hold a Bike Rack and 4 Bikes
  • According to the instructions for the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # C31068, the tongue weight capacity for the hitch is 500 pounds. While this is enough capacity to handle a 4 bike rack and 4 bikes, you will need to check the owners manual for the front axle capacity to make sure that you do not exceed it. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. This hitch fits 4 wheel drive models of the 2009 Ford F-150. Another factor that may be an issue is visibility. The...

  • What Size and Cubic-Feet-Per-Minute Electric Fan Assembly to Use for V8 Engine
  • You can use the link provided to see all of our electric fans. When it comes to engine cooling, whether you're talking coolant fans or an oil, tranny or power steering cooler, usually more cooling is better. The exact CFM cooling requirement for a V8 engine will vary somewhat among makers, the other equipment installed and the intended use - racing versus towing versus rock crawling, for example. Check with your engine manufacturer. These fans can be sorted based on size in order to fit...

  • Can a 2004 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4 Tow a 6500 Pound 2006 Nomad Trailer
  • From what I was able to find, the 2004 Dodge Ram SLT 4x4 has a standard towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. But when used with weight distribution the maximum towing capacity is 8,950 pounds. You might want to confirm this by contacting a Dodge dealer. To tow your 6,500 pound trailer you will need to use weight distribution. You will choose a system based on the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow and then adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear...

  • Will Adding a Transmission and Oil Cooler Increase the Towing Capacity of a 2014 GMC Yukon SLT
  • Just adding a transmission cooler and oil cooler will not increase the towing capacity of your 2014 GMC Yukon. The towing capacity of the vehicle is pretty much set in stone. But adding coolers will certainly be beneficial to you and help protect the transmission and motor for excessive heat. I recommend a combination cooler # D15902 so that you can have one unit that can be used for both fluids. I also recommend fitting # D13035 to avoid having to cut and flare transmission lines. Another...

  • Towing Capacity of 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus 4x4
  • The towing capacity of any given vehicle is a function of several features including the engine, transmission, suspension and cooling system, among others, and the auto maker gets to determine how much weight any vehicle can tow. Sometimes addition of an optional factory "tow package" will increase towing capacity over that of the base model. The base model of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus 4x4 has a towing capacity of 2000-lbs; the version that is equipped with the 3.2L automatic...

  • How to Confirm Towing Capacity of 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk V6
  • A vehicle has a towing weight capacity that is determined by the auto makers at the time of manufacture based on its frame, engine and drivetrain. A trailer hitch too will have a specific towing capacity (which appears on its safety sticker) that does not change; it is determined by the hitch maker that engineered it. A hitch does not know or care whether you or a factory worker bolted it on, so long as it was installed properly. That said, other features on a vehicle can affect its towing...
