2007 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the oil cooler hose on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Before starting the replacement ensure that your vehicle is correctly supported along with having raised the hood position and set down a drain pan beneath it. Begin the oil cooler line replacement by disconnecting the upper transaxle path from the Radiator then proceed by performing two tasks: first raise the vehicle while you disconnect the lower transaxle path from the Radiator. To begin work disconnect lines from Fan Shroud followed by unthreading assembly nuts on the transaxle before removing these lines from the vehicle. Before new oil cooler lines enter the vehicle you should replace all seals on transaxle oil cooler pipes; then install the assembly by attaching it to the transaxle. Connect the transaxle oil cooler line assembly with the specified torque of 9 n.m (80 lb in) using the nut. Fasten the lower transaxle oil cooler line toward the Radiator before you integrate the transaxle oil cooler lines into the Fan Shroud. The upper transaxle oil cooler line needs to be connected to the Radiator after lowering the vehicle. The use of gm t-iv fluid p/n 88900925 is necessary because dexron(R) vi automatic transmission fluid will create transaxle failure. Begin engine operation while adding fluid to the transaxle unit to detect possible fluid drainage through leaks.
