Oil applied for lubrication plays a significant cooling role. The oil cooler receives the lubricant’s heat and exchanges it with the ambient air or the radiator coolant. It is typically the automatic gearbox oil that needs a dedicated oil cooler. Vehicles, driving with engine oil that is cooled by a separate exchanger, is a common sight. Especially in high-performing or downsized engine vehicles, a dedicated oil cooler is an important part of the system.
In some vehicle models, the oil cooler is built into the radiator water tank. Here, the coolant plays a supportive role to the heat exchange process. In modern vehicles, an automatic gearbox oil cooler is often designed as a stand-alone unit, mounted separately in the engine compartment or on the engine block.
A range of Majestic’ oil coolers also come as oil coolers with housing, including various additional components such as filter housing, oil filter, bypass valve, one way valve, thermostat, gaskets and housing. The oil cooler with housing is a complete plug-and-play solution, making replacement of the entire oil cooler unit easy, convenient and less risky.
