I think there are only positives in fitting an oil cooler. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Dankie David,

Ek het met die manne al gesels en die volgende vrae kom op: :think:

Ek kan 1 van 2 coolers fit - 25 Ry cooler (330mmx193mmx50mm)
of- 32 Ry cooler (330mmx264mmx50mm)

My groot plan met die cooler is om die bakkie se olie te verkoel op warm dae, as die bakkie gelaai is en ek bergpasse ens ry, dan kan n cooler werk, solank hy die nodige lugvloei kry. :thumbup:

Ook op my wishlist is dat die bakkie se enjin olie koeler loop wanneer ek Richtersveld/ Van Zyls pas teen (+40C) doen teen lae snelhede maar steeds swaar gelaai en waar die bakkie hard moet werk. Hier gaan n cooler steeds werk maar sal ek verkieslik n waaier saam moet installeer op n skakelaar? :think: Waaiers is n ekstra (290mm x 270mm x 64mm) nou is ek al op n dikte van +/- 120mm waar pas ek dit in die KZ-TE in? :problem:

Oils degrade / breakdown with heat and become less affective, although automotive oils are formulated to withstand working temperatures with ease. One of the main functions of the oil (often overlooked) is to transfer the heat away from heat build up areas and this is where the oil cooler assists. Many vehicles have aluminium sumps with fins for heat dissipation and it helps, but nowhere near as effective as an oil radiator. Viscosity is not adversely affected either since the oil is never cooled to the point that it gets as thick as when it's cold.

All beneficial .... the only downside (if you want to call it that) is the initial cost of installation, but the savings in engine maintenance and oils lasting longer between changes, will offset that in the longer term.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Dankie oom Andy

Jan bietjie uit my pad uit op die stadium dankie :thumbup:

Het enige iemand al so iets gedoen op n KZTE sodat ek dalk n idee kry van hoe dit lyk en waar om dit te pas?
