Am i supposed to drain the oil cooler when i change my oil? I'm imagining that would be correct. If so does anyone know how big the bolt size is?

 

no, you normally do not drain the oil cooler, unless you are swapping engines

 

Thank you, that saves me a load of time...I searched but couldn't find anything that specific Always coming with the good info man, thanks.

 

Would there be anything wrong with draining the oil?

 

Why??? Drop the oil pan plug and let her rip! :-)

 

i dont think there would be anything wrong with it but it isnt nessecary is what he is saying. and also its a huge ****** bolt and i wouldve had to buy a new size socket or go to the closest town and rent one so it saves me about an hour of time

 

removing the bolt from the oil cooler will not drain anything but the oil cooler lines. Not the cooler.

 

does removing the oil filler cap and pan drain plug also drain the oil cooler?

 

No.

 

No. To drain the oil cooler it needs to be removed. That is why regular oil changes are so highly recommended.

Realistically, the only reason to remove the oil from the cooler is if you had an oil seal go or other major mechanical problem that put large amounts of particulate matter into the oil stream.

 

thanks... guys alot of good advice and info here...saves me sometime for sure.
