Inline oilcooler

I just purchased a used F250 with a 351w in it and I went to change the oil and noticed that a stock FL1-A filter won't fit due to a inline oil cooler (I think) installed in front of the oil filter. It is inline from the bottom radiator hose. Am I correct in guessing this is a aftermarket part and is not from the factory? Is it worth leaving on? There used to be a plow on the truck and I assume they used the truck for business purposes. I don't plan on regularly hauling heavy trailers or big loads.

Thumbs up Inline oilcooler

This is a 351M forum not a 351W. That aside, yes I think you are correct in your assumption.

I think some 351W's had a factory oil cooler on them. Where do the hoses go?

The hoses are passive, inline between the return hose on the bottom of the radiator and the water pump return.

Factory 351w oil cooler was started around 94.

What motorcraft oil filter will fit. FL1-A is too long.

I went to motorcraft.com & did a search. If your truck is a 1994 (I just picked a random year), it lists part# FL-820S. You can use the link to verify for other years. I hope this helps.

This is a 351M forum not a 351W.
Really?
