Flush oil cooler
I have a front mount oil cooler and since i am doing a rebuild im going to try out synthetic oil. I was wondering the best way to remove all the old oil just sitting in my oil cooler. can I flush it with water then blow it out with air. or would it be best to just run the new oil im putting in through it?

Flush it with boiling hot water. The thermostat in the OIL COOLER opens at 145*F. So your water needs to be hotter than that. Otherwise you're just cleanning the end tank where the fittings are and nothing goes into the channels. I'll do three pots of boiling water. The first one I'll add Simple Green to clean out the cooler. Next 2 are just water and clears everything out.
If you can find a shop that does ultrasonic cleaning, it's worth it. Got mine done for $60.00 recently with a pressure test.
