REMOVING THE FACTORY OIL COOLER
1.
Place a drain pan under the oil filter and remove the filter.
2. Remove the lower radiator shroud from the car by removing four push-
clips, circled in
green
on Figure 6.
Tip:
Removing the bumper bar makes this easier
3. Locate the coolant lines for the factory oil cooler and pop-off the black
plastic protectors shown in Figure 7 to gain access to the clover-shaped
wire clips that secure the factory lines into the fittings.
Tip:
There are two caps on the front of the factory oil cooler (#23 & #24).
Tip:
There is one cap on the larger line that goes into the side of the engine
block (#25).
4. Locate the #18 screw in Figure 7 that secures the factory oil cooler tube
to the oil pan and remove the screw with a 10 mm tool.
