had oil cooler installed and.....

atx370z · 10-13-2010, 05:23 PM

They mounted it on the passenger side in front of the power steering cooler ( i think that's what it is. )

Is this going to affect the cooling effeciency of the power steering cooler seeing as the oil cooler is blocking it from getting good air flow? Also, one of the oil lines runs right in front of the oil cooler... im not sure what's up with that or why they did it. Might take bumper off to check it out.

Am i concerned for nothing, or should i take the bumper off and investigate.

Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It would become an issue if you track the car hard in which some cases the fluid will expand and come spilling out the reservoir.

Seb installed my Stillen cooler on the driver's side just to avoid impeding air flow to the OEM power steering fluid cooler which I prefer. However, it will not cause any negative effects on the P/S fluid under most conditions and it will still recieve airflow so you will be fine off the track.
