Oil Coolers
Engine and transmission oil cooling
Oil applied for lubrication plays a significant cooling role. The oil cooler receives the lubricant’s heat and exchanges it with the ambient air or the radiator coolant. It is typically the automatic gearbox oil that needs a dedicated oil cooler. Vehicles, driving with engine oil that is cooled by a separate exchanger, is a common sight. Especially in high-performing or downsized engine vehicles, a dedicated oil cooler is an important part of the system.
In some vehicle models, the oil cooler is built into the radiator water tank. Here, the coolant plays a supportive role to the heat exchange process. In modern vehicles, an automatic gearbox oil cooler is often designed as a stand-alone unit, mounted separately in the engine compartment or on the engine block.
A range of Nissens’ oil coolers also come as oil coolers with housing, including various additional components such as filter housing, oil filter, bypass valve, one way valve, thermostat, gaskets and housing. The oil cooler with housing is a complete plug-and-play solution, making replacement of the entire oil cooler unit easy, convenient and less risky.
The Difference
-
Reliability & Performance
The oil cooler development process includes an in-house test series, where the oil cooler is pressure-impulse tested with 100,000 impulses at a pressure of up to 10.0 bar.
Development of the oil cooler with housing includes extensive test series of each component separately and the entire unit when assembled to ensure its reliability and high performance needed for the lubricant flow, filtration and cooling.

Nissens' Product Benefits
-
Easy Installation with First Fit
Including necessary gaskets pre-mounted for quick and smooth installation.
-
Long Life Product
Improved turbulator design, ensuring more precise brazing process, thus supreme durability and stress resistance of the component.
-
Temperature Resistant
Thermal expansion tested to perform during fluctuations of temperatures, ranging from 10 to 90 °C.
-
Cooling Performance
The highly performing oil cooler made of robust, pressure-durable aluminum design secure proper lubricant cooling, matching the engine operation needs.
-
Reliable Flow & Pressure
The module’s inner valves are thoroughly tested and precisely calibrated to ensure the proper lubricant flow characteristics through the oil cooler with housing.
The one-way valve is set to eliminate possible flow constrains, delays or backflows whereas the pressure relief valve protects against lubricant overpressure.
-
Clean Lubrication
In the complete oil coolers with housing, the high-quality, durable oil filter is applied to secure excellent particles retention and smooth, unhindered flow of the lubricant.
Technical Details
The engine oil’s vitality, proper volume, flow and pressure are crucial for the engine operation, securing proper lubrication and cooling of its inner parts as well as operation of other engine components, e.g. turbocharger.
Always follow the oil type, volume and change intervals prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Exposure to high temperatures, high mileages or dilution caused by other liquids impair the oil function considerably and lead to severe engine failures.
Low-quality, worn or contaminated oil can clog up the filter faster and/or the thin channels of the oil cooler, limiting the inside flow and the cooling performance.
