oil coolers
In
all engines it is necessary to ensure the stable operation of the oil cooler.
Ryan's
Radiator Service can supply and fit or even custom | | install
a new oil cooler into your car. The importance of this is just as important as
the rest of your cars cooling system for without it you will cause a lot of damage
to vital engine components. |

Oil Cooling
Automatic transmissions generate large amounts of
heat and are totally dependant on the transmission fluid for cooling. When the
fluid temperature exceeds 93°C the fluid deteriorates rapidly, diminishing
its ability to lubricate and cool critical valves, springs, seals and other internal
components, leading to premature failure and costly repairs. Over 90% of all automatic
transmission failures are caused by overheating. A 10% drop in fluid temperature
can double the life of the transmission!
The factory fluid cooler is located
in the radiator's coolant holding tank. The hot transmission fluid is cooled by
transferring its heat to the colder engine coolant that surrounds it. The minimal
temperature difference between the two fluids under normal conditions causes little,
if any, drop in the transmission fluid temperature.
|  A
typical automatic transmission contains thousands of moving parts which benefit
greatly from cooler transmission fluid | Ryan's
Radiator Service Transmission Oil Coolers perform best when installed in conjunction
with the factory cooler and mounted in front of the radiator. With cool fluid
re-entering the transmission, the valves, springs and seals perform as intended,
resulting in smoother operation, positive shifts, lower floor board temperatures
and extended life.
If you use your vehicle for towing, drive in stop-and-go
traffic, or carry heavy loads, your transmission needs an efficient Transmission
Oil Cooler. If you drive a recreational vehicle, a street machine with a high-performance
automatic transmission, or a race car, you also need a Transmission Oil Cooler. |

Oil Cooling
Almost one third of the heat generated by the engine
must be removed by the vehicle's two cooling systems. That's correct your engine
has two cooling systems. (1) The top of the engine: the area around each cylinder
in the engine block, the combustion chamber areas in the cylinder heads and the
intake manifold, dispel heat through the engine's radiator coolant system. (2)
The rest of the engine: the crankshaft, bearings, camshaft, lifters, connecting
rods and pistons are only cooled by engine oil.
| | The
ideal operating range for engine oil is 82°C through 93°C. While operating
within this range, the oil works as a lubricant, coolant, and cleansing agent
in the engine. Modern engines generally run with radiator coolant temperatures
between 90°C and 105°C with oil temperature ranges up to 25°C HOTTER.
In other words, when the engine is performing flawlessly, the engine oil is already
overheating! Oil that exceeds 105°C rapidly loses its ability to lubricate
and cool causing accelerated fatigue and premature component failure.
Ryan's Radiator Service oil cooler coils are engineered for maximum cooling efficiency
with no restriction in oil flow.
Benefits are:
•
Longer engine life
• Reduced heat load on engine and radiator
•
Increased oil system capacity
• Lower under-hood temperatures and more!
