Can someone help tell me which Oil Cooler kit/size this is?

[1cleanZ]

So, lucky me I discovered that I purchased my car with an already installed Oil Cooler. Now I'm just trying to find out which oil cooler kit it actually is(Row size??), AND am I suppose to do anything special like add more oil then normal?

I took my bumper off and wasn't able to find any serial #'s on the actual core.

Here's a few photos that I took of the Setrab Core. ANY help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Looks like a 34 row oil cooler. Typically you need extra liter of oil from regular number of liters as specified. Lucky you indeed!

Didn't you buy the one that was the tested on Motorweek? Wonder if Nissan had that installed prior to the test to avoid limp mode. Nice pleasant surprise either way

So with the additiong of the 34 row cooler it would be 6qts of oil then? And to the OP very lucky surprise man

Depends how it's mounted, looks top up. If its top up, same 5.125 qts, top down, yeah, 6-6.5 qts

well if it was a test car than it probably has upgraded brakes, oh and don't forget that your oil cooler may void your warranty even if nissan put it on there because it would have gotten bad press otherwise :corporatefail:

100% disagree

I highly doubt both of those statements.
It anything, it has Nismo pads, and you gotta have a really random dealer/tech at corporate who goes, "hmmmmm, oil cooler, VOID THE WARRANTY!" After all the Nismo oil cooler was authorized by corporate not to void the warranty

Thank you everyone for the quick responses and information! I really appreciate it!!

After looking at this thread: Nissan Motorsports Oil Cooler vs. Stillen Oil Cooler

Looks to me that I have the Nissan Motorsports Oil cooler, which would only make sense since the car really hasn't had an owner besides "Nissan".

Exactly my thoughts!! Nissan HAD to have tested these cars, even before sending them for testing for Motorweek Magazine. It tells you something if they installed an oil cooler on the 21st Nismo ever built BEFORE testing it in early 2010.

Thank you thank you! I typically put 5 qts in, so would it be bad to put in a full 6 qts?

I would have to agree as well. I took the car into Nissan to get the extended warranty transfered over to my name. They did a fullllll inspection of the entire car before doing so, zero hickups. They even brought up the oil cooler being there and said it was a smart addition

Well this was back in 09 but yeah the dealer tried to hand me my azz over having an oil cooler on there, and while one of the nissan coolers was under warranty one technically isn't can't remember which one, whether it was the kit in the fender or the kit in front of the radiator. Unless they changed that. Also they did start changing the brake pads and fluid on the press car after a certain accident with a nismo. all dealers are different some are ok with intakes and exhaust some will tell you you voided your warranty by installing a radio. I have sound basis for what i said, but if things have changed well hell i haven't kept up on it. My point is it's funnier than hell nissan has to do what we all complain about for press cars but they tell us there isn't a problem, and it's our fault for driving it in a way it wasn't intended (yet they're marketing, like these press cars, is totally different)

It's like when they said the mechanically problematic overpriced terrible performing puke was going to be the replacement for the 240sx

I second the motion your honor! I therefore request the court to dismiss this case!

Can you take a pic from the front of your car? Bumper on is ok.
Then I can tell you if it's top down/up to see how much oil you should be filling
(Although it looks top up)

Be interesting to check to see if it has a differential cooler, if it was indeed a press car..

Its top up. The lines connect to the top.

The Nissan Motorsports one easily sticks out because of the size of the actual heat exchanger as well as the Oil Lines. The oil lines are very thick.

Then 5 qts.
And the oil cooler isn't bigger than any other 34 row.



Does it take A WHILE for your oil temps to rise? Because the Nismo one doesn't have a thermostatic plate
