oil cooler???'s
hi guys, im in the market for a new oil cooler for my '07 . mine is BAD. ive got a 20 degree spread between EOT and ECT. this will be the forth cooler. ford replace the first 3 and now i out of warranty. u guys have opinions on installing the bulletproof diesel remote cooler or sticking wit the OEM cooler? if i do stay wit the OEM cooler do i have to flush the oil system? and if so how do i do that? i just did the coolant flush a week ago so i think thats good. thanks

I got my new Maxxforce oil cooler from River City Diesel. Don't know about the Bulletproof remote, but someone should. You should change the oil after the oil cooler replacement. I have not heard of flushing the oil system. Did you use the VC-9 during the coolant flush and run distilled water until it came clear (2 weeks and 30+ gallons for mine, IIRC). If not, you should before installing the new oil cooler. Don't forget to install a coolant filter also.

it has been mentioned on here before and since iv been doing some tranny work I have noticed that you could probably peice together a remote oil cooler for 1/4 of the price. some of these oil coolers for trannys are not very expensive at all compared to 1800.00 for the kit or at least the one I saw at bullet proof diesel. Four oil coolers for an 07 seems like alot to me do you have a coolant filter

I have a pdf of the ford manual for the oil cooler removal - I was going to attach it for you but don't have that privilege or something. Maybe someone else can - I got it off FTE, searching the oil cooler posts. I could email it directly if you wanted.

Sounds like it was just a factory replacement since Maxxforce is an International "brand name", or is it a remote setup?? All I could see in your gallery was what looked to be a stock oil cooler replacement
