Description

What does an engine oil cooler do?

This engine oil cooler serves as a vital heat-exchanger unit designed to maintain oil temperatures within safe operating limits. By transferring heat generated during combustion and internal friction to the coolant, it preserves the oil's viscosity and protects essential moving parts like bearings and the crankshaft from premature wear.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This unit is compatible with heavy commercial vehicle engines including Volvo FH12, FH16, FM10, FM12, NH12, VHD, and VNL series, as well as Renault Trucks Magnum models. It is specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of D12, D16, D10A, and DXi12 engine configurations.

Installation and maintenance

Installation and maintenance should be performed by a workshop technician to ensure proper sealing and alignment within the cooling circuit. Regular inspection of the cooling system is recommended to prevent buildup that could impede heat transfer efficiency.

Selection guidance

Selecting a high-strength component ensures reliable thermal regulation even under heavy load conditions. Consult your authorized distributor for detailed fitment guidance.
