Can I bypass engine oil cooler?

Bypassing engine cooler would seize the engine as hot oil is not good for lubrication . It is possible to do it. However, that will cause the oil to get too hot. As the oil heats up it gets thinner, and eventually it’ll become too thin and the engine will lose oil pressure.

Does an oil cooler need a pump?

What runs through oil cooler lines?

These lines work like your radiator, where the coolant runs around the engine to drop its temperature down. They focus on reducing the oil’s temperature to a proper level that does not damage the engine. These lines allow the oil to reduce its temperature as it runs through these lines.

What is an oil cooler bypass valve?

The bypass valve – otherwise known as a pressure relief valve – is an integral part of the oil filter. The valve is designed to open when the oil filter becomes clogged or when the oil is too thick. This allows the oil to bypass the filter through a center tube.

Where do you mount an oil cooler?
