Serviceable cooler lines and hoses exist as part of an oil cooler system which could either integrate with the
Radiator or act as an independent unit placed in front. The Engine Oil Cooler hose/pipe replacement should begin with cooler line disconnection and opening the Oil Cooler Hose clip on the lower
Fan Shroud before extracting the oil cooler hoses from their clip. Complete the Radiator quick-connect fittings before extracting the oil cooler pipe fittings normally after you support the vehicle properly. Start by unbolting the Oil Cooler Hose bracket then remove the Oil Cooler Hose adapter bolts before completely disassembling the hose assembly that you must discard afterward. Examine the fittings along with connectors and all cooler hoses for signs of structural change or physical damage. An audible snap from the hose tube assembly during their insertion into quick connectors confirms proper insertion requiring a firm pull to verify complete insertion. Fit together the Oil Cooler Hose assembly with a fresh gasket before torquing the cooler hose adapter bolts to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.) then twisting the outer Oil Cooler Hose bracket bolt to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Fasten the oil cooler hoses through their designated clip on the Fan Shroud before closing the hose clip mechanism. Make sure both the new oil cooler line and its quick connect end possess an attached plastic cap before connection. Obtain a new plastic cap if one is lost or damaged and install it before fitting the cooler lines but never use the cap to connect the lines. Carefully join the oil cooler lines before pulling the line back hard to verify proper fitting in the quick connect connector.
