Replace Oil Cooler
I'm thinking I need to replace my oil cooler, but I was looking at Mazdatrix's site and they've got them listed for $600. Has anyone used a different aftermarket oil cooler in a 89-91 N/T? If so, I'd really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks in advance |
The stock one is a really good oil cooler. I'd just suck it up and pay the $600. Just my .02 though.

why does it need to be replaced??? accident???
|
buy a used one?
|
Geez, just search the parts for sale section or hit up a junkyard. $600? ugh.
|
Have it repaired by a radiator shop...
|
Get a used one and have it ultrasonically cleaned. Hell you could by a whole parts car for $600, maybe 2 or 3 of them!
|
Yea get a used one, or get yours cleaned and repaired. I've looked at a few aftermarket ones and their largest was still not as big as the stock mazda one. I was thinking of joing two of their largest, but I wasn't sure of how that would effect oil pressure, having the oil run through all those tubes...

look up my thread on oil cooler cleaning.
I also have a used one for $45 shipped. |

mmmm, unless the fluid is heated uop enough to open the thermostat and the fluid is flushed thru, all you have accomplished is having a bunch of loose crud to immediately flow thru the oil lines as soon as the t-stat(oil) opens Do yourself a favor and have a certified FAA Oil Cooler Repair facility flush it |
Well, you could remove the thermostat before you clean it...
|
I still want to know why it need replacing...
