2004 Chevrolet Venture Oil Cooler Hose Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the inlet oil cooler hose on 2004 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: As part of the replacement procedure you need to drain the engine coolant first and then lift and stabilize the vehicle. Take off the knock sensor connector and Oil Filter to begin work. First disconnect the oil cooler outlet hose from the oil cooler before you remove both the oil cooler connector and the oil cooler inlet hose clamp and then remove the oil cooler itself. Remove both the oil cooler inlet hose clamp and the inlet hose from their respective fittings on the cooler before removing the fitting too if needed. Fit the Oil Cooler Hose fitting back in place while applying torque of 19 nm (14 ft. Lbs.). You should begin by connecting the oil cooler inlet hose and clamp to the Oil Cooler Hose fitting. Install the oil cooler inlet hose clamp onto its corresponding position on the cooler while verifiying proper seal placement and oil coating. Etch the oil cooler connector with 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) torque before fitting the oil cooler outlet hose to the cooler's tube. The next steps include reinstalling the Oil Filter and reconnecting the knock sensor electrical connector and lowering the vehicle. Then add engine coolant to the cooling system. Check and replace oil as needed then check for any indication of oil leaks in the oil cooler.
