  • Can a Transmission Cooler Like Derale # D13101 Be Used to Cool Engine Oil
  • Engine fluid coolers are not vehicle-specific nor are they fluid-specific. Any given cooler could be used to cool power steering fluid, transmission fluid or engine oil. The factor to consider is the required fittings to install a cooler for a given application. Transmission, engine oil and power steering fittings vary. As long as you have the correct adapters/fittings to connect a cooler to its fluid circuit you could use just about any cooler to good effect to reduce the fluid's operating...

  • Derale D15405 or D15602 Oil Cooler for 2016 Ram 1500
  • For your 2016 Ram 1500, between the Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15405 and the Derale Stacked-Plate Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15602, I highly recommend going with the latter, the stacked-plate kit.

  • Are Engine Oil Coolers Fits for 2017 Subaru Outback
  • Engine oil coolers can fit any vehicle so long as there is room for it to install. So the best oil cooler, the Derale Hyper-Cool Remote Engine Cooler Kit # D15660 measures 13" wide x 10" tall x 5-5/8" deep so you'd need that much room in your 2017 Subaru Outback. The larger the cooler, the better the cooling, so if you can fit this cooler in I recommend it, otherwise there is the 9-7/8" wide x 9-1/2" tall x 1-1/4" deep Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15405 you mentioned which is also a very...

  • Adding an Engine Oil Cooler and a Power Steering Cooler to a 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4.0L V6
  • Thanks for asking about a Power Steering Cooler and Engine Oil cooler for your 2007 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6. Adding two more coolers is not going to present a cooling issue for your engine/radiator. The coolers allow air to flow through them and will not transfer enough heat to the air going through them to effect the cooling performance of the vehicle's radiator. Your engine oil filter has 3/4-16 threads. So you can determine the correct threads to use from the recommended kits below,...

  • Will an Oil Cooler Kit Fit a 2013 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5L V6 Engine
  • Your 2013 Toyota Highlander with the 3.5L v6 engine uses a cartridge style oil filter which means the Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit part # D15405 will not work for you. With that being said, it is unlikely that you would need an oil cooler if you are within the towing capacity. In most newer vehicles, installing an engine oil cooler can have a negative impact as they actually cause a decrease in oil pressure. The decreased oil pressure is not drastic but does have more of an affect...

  • Installing A Transmission And Oil Cooler On My 2017 Chevrolet Colorado

  • Derale Transmission Cooler for 2003 Ford Explorer Towing 3200-lb Boat Trailer

Coolers are also not vehicle-specific; you can use the largest cooler that will fit the space available for mounting one.
