I can't be sure but it's usually near the oil filter location. Sometimes the cooler is the oil filter bracket itselfI appreciate all the oil advice, but my question is on oil coolers.
where is the stock oil cooler?
thx!
The oil cooler is a module located between the oil filter and the engine block. It has two coolant lines (hoses) going to it.I appreciate all the oil advice, but my question is on oil coolers.

Not bad, just noticed that when towing near limits and doing the mountains, the oil temps go to 230-238 for a bit. Otherwise, no issue, but would like to keep them in the 220s.
The trans temps always seem good, and what’s funny is that I don’t see the engine water temp climb as much...

Good point! The warmer the oil the better it flows. Could be important in cold weather climates in reducing engine wear and decreasing fuel consumption.The oil cooler also uses heat from the coolant lines to heat up the oil so it gets to the proper operating temperature quicker.
Oil will run a little hotter, but if it doesn't go over 250 for a short time it should be good.Not bad, just noticed that when towing near limits and doing the mountains, the oil temps go to 230-238 for a bit. Otherwise, no issue, but would like to keep them in the 220s.

I'm hitting 275° towing and running at 245° constantly when towing at 80°F ambiant, <1000ft elevation at 60% relative humidity. I'm looking to put one in as well and before anyone tells me not to, please relax. I'm going to put in an inline thermostat that will bypass it at temps under 220° I know way too much about the science behind this subject. All the calculations in the world won't tell me where the lines are.
