Replying to: bsw1 (Jan 25, 2009 11:13 am) I am sure an oil cooler does offer some extended engine life to some point if exposed to brutal enviroments, but it can also leave you stranded with no means of a quick fix. I once had a hose chaff on metal and busted draining almost all the engine oil. I just happened to notice smoke which was burning on the exhaust to stop in time. The two hoses run from the side of an adapted oil filter housing connected to aluminum fittings which are routed through the oil cooler in the grill to the drivers side. It is very hard to get to the connections at the oil filter housing with limited view. Remove the left front tire,unbolt and move power streeing pump out of the way to gain access. Use a good drop light to see your work. I removed my hoses and brought them to Napa Auto store to repair them. $34.00 a piece to fix. Hope this helps! Good luck!
