Oils, lubes & additives 39 www.jlmlubricants.co.uk GARAGE APPROVED Oil coolers are an often overlooked part of an engine’s cooling system, but keeping the engine’s oil at a stable, defined temperature is as important as managing the temperature of the engine and gearbox. As it lubricates, cleans and conditions the seals, the oil is crucial for the correct operation of the gearbox, which is why a leaking or non-performing oil cooler is one of the most common causes of automatic gearbox failure. In the case of a leak, a lack of oil will cause the engine to overheat and shut down. While exposure to high stress, like high temperatures and high mileages, can significantly shorten an oil cooler’s lifespan. Plus, low-quality or contaminated oil can clog the thin channels in an oil cooler, limiting its flow and cooling performance. So, it is important to ensure the oil and filters are changed in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s service schedule. Workshops need solutions that provide not only quality and reliability but also convenience. And that applies to oil coolers as much as any other aftermarket components.
