Start by using an 8-mm bolt wrench to remove the bolt that maintains the engine Oil Cooler Hose/pipe assembly to the engine block followed by the 8-mm bolts that maintain the engine Oil Cooler Hose/pipe to the oil filter housing. Transfer the hose/pipe assembly out of the vehicle along with the discarding of all seals. Begin by applying new engine Oil Cooler Hose/pipe seals after which you can attach the hose/pipe assembly to the vehicle. Secure the hose/pipe at the oil filter housing using bolts which need to be torqued to 12 nm (106 lb in) and bolt the assembly to the engine block using a torque of 25 nm (18 lb ft). Put the drain pan away while checking the quick connector engagement by performing a pushing followed by a pulling motion. Secure the installation of engine Oil Cooler Hose/pipes to the external oil cooler before installing the hose/pipe clip onto the Fan Shroud.

Q: How to Ensure Proper Installation of the Oil Cooler Hose on Chevrolet Equinox?
A: Before starting the hose/pipe replacement maintain the vehicle in a secure position to shield against possible harm. Raising the vehicle hood requires first placement of the drain pan below the vehicle body on the hoist. The maintenance starts by detaching the upper transaxle oil cooler line from the Radiator before vehicle lifting followed by disconnecting the lower transaxle oil cooler line. First disengage both transaxle cooler lines from their position on the Fan Shroud then remove the transaxle cooler line assembly nut from the transaxle before taking out the transaxle cooler lines from the vehicle. The installation requires new transaxle oil cooler pipe seals. The installation process begins with putting the transaxle oil cooler lines inside the vehicle before connecting the transaxle oil cooler line assembly to the transaxle while tightening both parts to 9 n.m (80 lb in) using the transaxle oil cooler line assembly nut. The lower transaxle oil cooler line should connect to the Radiator before securing lines by the Fan Shroud. Lower the vehicle first while connecting both ends of the upper transaxle oil cooler line to the Radiator. The gm t-iv fluid p/n 88900925 serves as the proper fluid for the application whereas using dexron(R) vi automatic transmission fluid will damage the transaxle. Start the engine after adding fluid to the transaxle to perform leakage inspection.
