Lacking in ZDDP
In the past 3 months i have seen several failed oil cooler seals. The failure modes varied from a slow seepage to an instantaneous loss of 4 quarts in 8 miles. This is an extremely easy to service seal. It requires that you remove the oil filter and the oil cooler retaining nut. After that proceed to disconnect the oil cooler colant hoses as necessary to remove the cooler from the hollow shaft that it fits over. The seal can be found between the oil cooler and the flange on the block. The old seal should be carefully and completely removed. The new seal will fit neatly into the top of the oil cooler which can then be reinstalled.
Should you suffer a catastrophic failure of this seal oil will spray ALL over your engine bay. This means your coolant fans as well which will proceed to put an anti-corrosion coating on every surface in your engine bay.
