00:00:12.91900:00:12.929 cooler what does it do in the name 00:00:14.99000:00:15.000 obviously it cools down the oil of the 00:00:16.60900:00:16.619 engine the factory oil cooler is going 00:00:19.70000:00:19.710 to be something that has coolant that 00:00:21.34900:00:21.359 runs through it and then the oil runs 00:00:22.93900:00:22.949 through the middle of that it is not 00:00:25.46000:00:25.470 sufficient depending on the use of your 00:00:27.25900:00:27.269 vehicle so we have tracked our vehicle 00:00:29.33000:00:29.340 and multiple occasions either offroad 00:00:31.66900:00:31.679 and also at tracks in both cases we were 00:00:34.72900:00:34.739 overheating our oil this would help us 00:00:37.88000:00:37.890 tremendously in in resolving that issue

00:01:05.53900:01:05.549 be doing one for the video and then 00:01:06.77000:01:06.780 we're going to be giving one away so 00:01:07.94000:01:07.950 make sure you participate in that 00:01:10.57000:01:10.580 without further ado let's get into it 00:01:12.89000:01:12.900 now let's take out and show you 00:01:14.17900:01:14.189 everything that's included with this 00:01:15.28900:01:15.299 we've already on a wrap a lot of the 00:01:16.76000:01:16.770 components inside this kit but it does 00:01:18.59000:01:18.600 come with some instructions there are 00:01:19.94000:01:19.950 these hoses that we're gonna need for 00:01:22.10000:01:22.110 the install and then these are the basic 00:01:24.80000:01:24.810 components of your kit here's your oil 00:01:27.05000:01:27.060 cooler itself this is one of the 00:01:29.21000:01:29.220 brackets and you can see there's quite a 00:01:30.56000:01:30.570 few brackets and a bunch of hardware 00:01:32.14000:01:32.150 related to the mounting of this 00:01:35.06000:01:35.070 particular setup now keep in mind 00:01:36.99900:01:37.009 depending on where you are in the world 00:01:39.10900:01:39.119 you may not have the exact same kit so 00:01:41.12000:01:41.130 this is for a US model cars because we 00:01:43.19000:01:43.200 have a different setup European cars use 00:01:45.31900:01:45.329 a cross brace that the original kit was 00:01:47.48000:01:47.490 intended to mount to that u.s. cars 00:01:49.52000:01:49.530 don't have so that's why a lot of these 00:01:52.01000:01:52.020 braces and stuff may be a little bit 00:01:53.60000:01:53.610 different depending on what you're 00:01:54.83000:01:54.840 looking at now what this will Cooler 00:01:57.23000:01:57.240 uses like many oil cooler kits is a 00:01:58.96900:01:58.979 sandwich plate system so basically 00:02:01.45900:02:01.469 what's going to happen is here is going 00:02:03.26000:02:03.270 to be this that goes into your original 00:02:05.42000:02:05.430 oil filter hole and then you have this 00:02:07.60900:02:07.619 that goes on top this threads in place 00:02:10.55000:02:10.560 and then you have a new oil filter this 00:02:13.64000:02:13.650 that goes on top of that now it will sit 00:02:16.33900:02:16.349 in place like so in the vehicle and this 00:02:18.89000:02:18.900 is a serviceable filter so let's talk 00:02:20.89900:02:20.909 about that real quick and this is a 00:02:22.61000:02:22.620 reverse thread filter so you're going to 00:02:25.33900:02:25.349 turn it to the right to loosen it and 00:02:28.16000:02:28.170 we've already cracked that loose so it 00:02:29.44900:02:29.459 wasn't like that from the factory and 00:02:30.97900:02:30.989 then here is there's a wave washer in 00:02:33.86000:02:33.870 there and then you have the serviceable 00:02:36.11000:02:36.120 filter this is a stainless steel mesh 00:02:38.63000:02:38.640 screen that is supposed to be replaced 00:02:42.05000:02:42.060 every so often and then it can be 00:02:43.64000:02:43.650 cleaned as well during that process so 00:02:46.69900:02:46.709 we're gonna reinstall this and we're 00:02:48.83000:02:48.840 gonna tighten that up all the way until 00:02:50.03000:02:50.040 this is completely sealed you also may 00:02:52.43000:02:52.440 want to loose when you tighten that back 00:02:54.19900:02:54.209 up get a little bit of oil on the seal 00:02:56.62900:02:56.639 right here to make sure that the seal 00:02:58.16000:02:58.170 doesn't get pinched or torn and it's got 00:03:01.19000:03:01.200 a little bit of lubrication to it again 00:03:03.02000:03:03.030 remember reverse-thread lefty tighty 00:03:04.91000:03:04.920 righty loosey opposite and is intended 00:03:09.17000:03:09.180 this way or designed this way so that it 00:03:10.87900:03:10.889 doesn't loosen up the cap of this while 00:03:13.52000:03:13.530 you're trying to loosen the filter from 00:03:15.11000:03:15.120 the from the housing it's gonna go on - 00:03:17.50900:03:17.519 now another important note before you go 00:03:19.87900:03:19.889 through in science you need to make sure 00:03:21.34900:03:21.359 you have the correct style oil filter 00:03:23.36000:03:23.370 adapter here now this our car earlier 00:03:25.93900:03:25.949 vehicles came with this particular style 00:03:27.89000:03:27.900 of mount it goes inside here if you have 00:03:30.17000:03:30.180 a this guy that can flop around like 00:03:31.97000:03:31.980 that that's not the correct one you need 00:03:33.89000:03:33.900 to make sure you have the updated 00:03:35.11900:03:35.129 version which is this one and it was 00:03:37.36900:03:37.379 this one two slides over top of these so 00:03:39.31900:03:39.329 you need to make sure we'll put a link 00:03:41.00000:03:41.010 to this this new one in the description 00:03:42.61900:03:42.629 and make sure it's on the product page 00:03:44.30000:03:44.310 as well but this is actually the one you 00:03:47.18000:03:47.190 have to have if you're installing this 00:03:48.61900:03:48.629 in the vehicle again it doesn't go out 00:03:50.59900:03:50.609 of here because you're going to take off 00:03:51.77000:03:51.780 this filter housing but it does go into 00:03:53.71900:03:53.729 the vehicle itself so this is very 00:03:56.30000:03:56.310 important to make sure that you have the 00:03:57.64900:03:57.659 correct one before doing this install 00:03:59.21000:03:59.220 okay so on our install we're going to 00:04:01.15900:04:01.169 start by removing our engine cover our 00:04:03.05000:04:03.060 car does have a cat-scan on it if you're 00:04:04.90900:04:04.919 not familiar with what this is we do 00:04:06.22900:04:06.239 have a DIY video which shows you how to 00:04:08.50900:04:08.519 install that which we can link to and 00:04:10.46000:04:10.470 we're gonna start by over just loosening 00:04:12.22900:04:12.239 our oil filter housing this is a 32 00:04:14.83900:04:14.849 millimeter and if you do not have a 32 00:04:17.96000:04:17.970 mil we will link to it in the 00:04:19.12900:04:19.139 description where you can purchase one 00:04:20.24000:04:20.250 from us purchases for parts like this or 00:04:22.64000:04:22.650 any others help support videos just like 00:04:24.70900:04:24.719 this one 00:04:25.25000:04:25.260 now once you've loosened this up and you 00:04:27.20000:04:27.210 can 00:04:27.59000:04:27.600 up now it's gonna drip a little bit of 00:04:29.63000:04:29.640 oil but it shouldn't be full and our oil 00:04:32.63000:04:32.640 filter stayed in there but we're gonna 00:04:35.15000:04:35.160 just take that out and we're gonna 00:04:37.01000:04:37.020 remove our oil filter as well now you 00:04:39.23000:04:39.240 can leave this sitting in there if you'd 00:04:41.09000:04:41.100 like if you're concerned about any 00:04:42.29000:04:42.300 contaminants getting in there you can 00:04:43.43000:04:43.440 just leave it sitting on top while we do 00:04:45.32000:04:45.330 the rest of our install we're inside by 00:04:46.82000:04:46.830 removing the grill to take the bumper 00:04:48.89000:04:48.900 off so on this car the earlier 00:04:51.62000:04:51.630 generations they're Torx screws here and 00:04:53.75000:04:53.760 here and then on the other cars we do 00:04:57.41000:04:57.420 have information about the facelift cars 00:04:59.51000:04:59.520 they do have a little bit different 00:05:01.04000:05:01.050 setup that we can link to the 00:05:04.31000:05:04.320 description that shows you that in 00:05:05.93000:05:05.940 detail I don't remember exactly how they 00:05:07.76000:05:07.770 come off I do remember that the grille 00:05:09.80000:05:09.810 does not really remove this same way it 00:05:11.63000:05:11.640 does just slide forward unlike the way 00:05:14.24000:05:14.250 this pops up and out now we have Torx 00:05:16.07000:05:16.080 screws right here and these are gonna 00:05:18.65000:05:18.660 come out and then we'll get the ones in 00:05:21.11000:05:21.120 the fender well and underneath our 00:05:23.03000:05:23.040 vehicle now you're going to remove all 00:05:24.65000:05:24.660 your fender liner screws that attach 00:05:26.00000:05:26.010 your drivers and passenger side it 00:05:29.09000:05:29.100 bumper to the fender well itself then 00:05:31.40000:05:31.410 you're going to go underneath the 00:05:32.51000:05:32.520 vehicle and get all the screws in the 00:05:33.98000:05:33.990 front side of that spoiler that keep the 00:05:36.20000:05:36.210 bumper and lower spoiler assembly on to 00:05:38.60000:05:38.610 the rest of the fender liners and other 00:05:40.55000:05:40.560 lower body shields lastly I recommend 00:05:42.80000:05:42.810 loosening the ten millimeters that 00:05:44.72000:05:44.730 actually mount these side mounting 00:05:47.09000:05:47.100 brackets in place it does make it easier 00:05:48.68000:05:48.690 to remove and reinstall this side of 00:05:50.42000:05:50.430 this bumper and then we can just pop 00:05:52.10000:05:52.110 this off okay now we have our size loose 00:05:54.23000:05:54.240 as you can see here and we're just going 00:05:56.60000:05:56.610 to get this bumper pulled off so this 00:05:58.37000:05:58.380 thing just slides off but there are some 00:06:00.44000:06:00.450 of these tabs that you're gonna have to 00:06:02.81000:06:02.820 kind of pop up a little bit to clear and 00:06:06.73000:06:06.740 once you get these loose you should be 00:06:09.47000:06:09.480 able to get this bumper off and just 00:06:10.79000:06:10.800 pull it forward just keep in mind this 00:06:13.01000:06:13.020 thing might fall off on you so and well 00:06:16.16000:06:16.170 now we got this bumper off looking the 00:06:17.33000:06:17.340 access where we mount our cool cooler to 00:06:19.90000:06:19.910 okay so what we're looking at here is 00:06:22.16000:06:22.170 your oil cooler assembly in the mounting 00:06:23.96000:06:23.970 brackets now we have this one partially 00:06:25.64000:06:25.650 assembled here they have a variety of 00:06:27.74000:06:27.750 pieces here depending on your vehicle so 00:06:29.53000:06:29.540 for most mark seven miles you're gonna 00:06:31.82000:06:31.830 be using these brackets which is this 00:06:33.65000:06:33.660 bracket and this bracket these are going 00:06:35.96000:06:35.970 to be your your left and right mounting 00:06:37.85000:06:37.860 brackets you can see they're the same 00:06:38.99000:06:39.000 they're gonna go out either side 00:06:40.25000:06:40.260 obviously flipped around 00:06:41.45000:06:41.460 on either end of this system now we have 00:06:45.43900:06:45.449 these rubber pieces which mount to the 00:06:47.12000:06:47.130 bottom here and they mount right here 00:06:50.33000:06:50.340 underneath and then they're supported by 00:06:52.90900:06:52.919 the bracket itself this ties them all 00:06:55.15900:06:55.169 everything together to keep everything 00:06:56.48000:06:56.490 supported and then you have different 00:06:58.93900:06:58.949 brackets all your mounting hardware is 00:07:00.83000:07:00.840 here and you are gonna have to drill 00:07:02.57000:07:02.580 through the rebar of the vehicle so they 00:07:04.76000:07:04.770 have these four s three s that have 00:07:06.71000:07:06.720 aluminum inserts in the in the rebar 00:07:10.51000:07:10.520 believed or they're for vehicles that 00:07:13.30900:07:13.319 have aluminum rebars I believe or some 00:07:15.52900:07:15.539 version of that and so they put these 00:07:17.39000:07:17.400 nuts or it's in there or they you can't 00:07:19.07000:07:19.080 get through the backside because they're 00:07:20.15000:07:20.160 boxed in so on the Box in rebars you're 00:07:23.36000:07:23.370 gonna need these and then we're gonna 00:07:25.90900:07:25.919 just going to drill through holes and 00:07:27.40900:07:27.419 then have a nut and a screw holding them 00:07:29.99000:07:30.000 in place these two brackets here are for 00:07:33.14000:07:33.150 s3 Basin diagrams that they have they're 00:07:35.62900:07:35.639 shorter ones and then these are gonna be 00:07:37.55000:07:37.560 for all the mark seven models and then 00:07:40.37000:07:40.380 we're gonna show you a fully assembled 00:07:41.89900:07:41.909 version that we're going to install in 00:07:43.10000:07:43.110 the car right now 00:07:44.30000:07:44.310 one note that you would want to have is 00:07:46.43000:07:46.440 when you're tightening these you can 00:07:48.20000:07:48.210 grab a pair of pliers and hold onto this 00:07:49.73000:07:49.740 rubber you can try to do it by hand but 00:07:51.77000:07:51.780 it's probably gonna spin on you so just 00:07:53.48000:07:53.490 hang on to it and snug that up okay so 00:07:56.14900:07:56.159 let's take a look here this is the fully 00:07:58.27900:07:58.289 assembled set up ready to go in the car 00:08:00.11000:08:00.120 we have our plate on the bottom the long 00:08:02.14900:08:02.159 bar that you get that comes with a kit 00:08:04.10000:08:04.110 we have the bumpers that go in between 00:08:05.81000:08:05.820 here the the l-shape angle brackets here 00:08:08.99000:08:09.000 on the bottom they go underneath here 00:08:11.06000:08:11.070 and then we have the vertical ones here 00:08:13.39900:08:13.409 now again those are very depending on 00:08:14.83900:08:14.849 the vehicle and then let's go mock it up 00:08:17.20900:08:17.219 on the vehicle so we can drill the holes 00:08:18.70900:08:18.719 through these upper mountings okay so 00:08:20.27000:08:20.280 you know here we have our bumper foam 00:08:21.80000:08:21.810 this is gonna be on your vehicle ready 00:08:23.36000:08:23.370 ours is modified because we had that 00:08:25.12900:08:25.139 bull bar on this thing and we're gonna 00:08:27.40900:08:27.419 remove this and this is glued in and 00:08:29.39000:08:29.400 normally has a lot of adhesive on here 00:08:31.43000:08:31.440 and this thing's harder you have to yank 00:08:32.69000:08:32.700 this thing out and pry it because ours 00:08:34.63900:08:34.649 has been out a bunch it doesn't take 00:08:36.56000:08:36.570 much to get it out now here we have our 00:08:38.54000:08:38.550 oil cooler we have our vertical mounting 00:08:40.33900:08:40.349 brackets here now there's a hood latch 00:08:42.29000:08:42.300 support right here that goes behind the 00:08:44.24000:08:44.250 rebar and basically I'm looking to sit 00:08:47.09000:08:47.100 right in between these two so you can 00:08:49.22000:08:49.230 kind of see once you get it in there and 00:08:50.44900:08:50.459 kind of slide it back and forth one 00:08:52.04000:08:52.050 sides hitting here on the support where 00:08:54.01900:08:54.029 it may 00:08:54.33000:08:54.340 the frame rail and the other side on 00:08:56.01000:08:56.020 that on that hood latch bracket so you 00:08:58.02000:08:58.030 really don't have a lot of room as far 00:08:59.85000:08:59.860 as lateral left and right movement and 00:09:01.86000:09:01.870 so you're pretty much just gonna find a 00:09:04.02000:09:04.030 good spot and then you want to mark it 00:09:06.15000:09:06.160 and then drill your holes here for your 00:09:08.67000:09:08.680 hole for your first hole we already have 00:09:11.52000:09:11.530 a hole back there but unfortunately we 00:09:13.08000:09:13.090 can't reuse it because of where it is 00:09:14.85000:09:14.860 and we're gonna drill our hole now the 00:09:18.63000:09:18.640 other thing you want to mention this 00:09:20.61000:09:20.620 rebar here is a very hard material you 00:09:24.51000:09:24.520 need to make sure you have very good 00:09:25.98000:09:25.990 drill bits and you stand you keep the 00:09:27.99000:09:28.000 drill bits cool while you're drilling to 00:09:30.21000:09:30.220 not overheat them and destroy them you 00:09:32.13000:09:32.140 could smoke drill bits like crazy we had 00:09:34.47000:09:34.480 a lot of drill bits that we smoked going 00:09:36.30000:09:36.310 through the process of drill and these 00:09:37.35000:09:37.360 holes 00:09:37.80000:09:37.810 I expect we may do that in this 00:09:39.78000:09:39.790 particular circumstance again 00:09:41.52000:09:41.530 we also want to stop periodically and if 00:09:44.67000:09:44.680 you can use penetrating oil or some 00:09:46.44000:09:46.450 other type of oil to cool off the bit 00:09:49.32000:09:49.330 you don't want to overheat it that will 00:09:50.70000:09:50.710 kill your drill bit quicker and have to 00:09:52.92000:09:52.930 buy new ones if you have cheap drill 00:09:54.81000:09:54.820 bits and you try this you will probably 00:09:56.21000:09:56.220 burn through all of them and not get 00:09:59.19000:09:59.200 very far right here what we're doing is 00:10:01.08000:10:01.090 over in front of the core support no big 00:10:03.15000:10:03.160 deal not no worries 00:10:04.50000:10:04.510 when you start drilling on this side 00:10:06.24000:10:06.250 over here which we're gonna get to you 00:10:08.34000:10:08.350 have potential that if you punch through 00:10:10.08000:10:10.090 you could hit that the condenser right 00:10:12.99000:10:13.000 here so if you are concerned about that 00:10:16.17000:10:16.180 you can remove this rebar from the 00:10:17.67000:10:17.680 vehicle and drill it on the ground there 00:10:19.62000:10:19.630 just some bolt holes and stuff like that 00:10:22.20000:10:22.210 we showed removing that in our 00:10:24.36000:10:24.370 intercooler DIY if you need to actually 00:10:26.07000:10:26.080 a way to show you the whole deal on that 00:10:28.44000:10:28.450 okay so when I was drilling this you do 00:10:30.27000:10:30.280 want to finish they have a note around 00:10:31.71000:10:31.720 six point five millimeters I use this 00:10:33.69000:10:33.700 quarter inch bit six point four 00:10:35.46000:10:35.470 millimeters and that was where I ended I 00:10:37.77000:10:37.780 did step up from the lower bits when you 00:10:40.50000:10:40.510 review your drill and stuff like this 00:10:41.40000:10:41.410 you will want to maybe start with Alaura 00:10:42.93000:10:42.940 a pilot hole to get everything through 00:10:45.30000:10:45.310 also because this bulb this rebar kills 00:10:49.71000:10:49.720 bit so quickly you may want to just 00:10:51.93000:10:51.940 start on different smaller bits as pilot 00:10:54.51000:10:54.520 holes to keep fresh bits because 00:10:56.58000:10:56.590 eventually by the end some of these bits 00:10:58.56000:10:58.570 we're not getting through this mell 00:10:59.69000:10:59.700 almost at all so just expect even if you 00:11:03.03000:11:03.040 have good bits which these are I think 00:11:04.59000:11:04.600 the most expensive dEWALT's that they 00:11:06.15000:11:06.160 sell it lows are on Depot 00:11:08.32000:11:08.330 that are carbide tips or whatever these 00:11:11.35000:11:11.360 bits are basically done for drilling 00:11:13.63000:11:13.640 stuff like this after this one job one 00:11:16.72000:11:16.730 thing I will say is I did snug these up 00:11:18.58000:11:18.590 and I have the bolts here I have a 00:11:21.19000:11:21.200 washer on the backside and then the lock 00:11:22.96000:11:22.970 nuts I Snug them up all the way and when 00:11:25.06000:11:25.070 I did this was kind of pushed up against 00:11:26.95000:11:26.960 these lines so the this is a little bit 00:11:29.62000:11:29.630 flexible so what I did is I bent the the 00:11:31.63000:11:31.640 brackets out a little bit because again 00:11:33.69000:11:33.700 this is not exactly these are flat 00:11:36.07000:11:36.080 pieces and this part on the backside 00:11:38.11000:11:38.120 isn't flat which is why it was slightly 00:11:39.61000:11:39.620 off so I pulled that forward invented so 00:11:42.40000:11:42.410 that I had some room to move I did 00:11:45.16000:11:45.170 before we did all this just run our 00:11:47.56000:11:47.570 hoses in from under here this is where 00:11:49.66000:11:49.670 they come from as a test to make sure 00:11:51.82000:11:51.830 that everything would line up properly 00:11:53.14000:11:53.150 before I started drilling holes and 00:11:55.03000:11:55.040 everything was the way I needed it to be 00:11:57.13000:11:57.140 so that is something that you may want 00:11:59.14000:11:59.150 to do before you start doing that 00:12:00.73000:12:00.740 there's not a lot of movement here as 00:12:03.04000:12:03.050 far as place to go between the hood 00:12:06.61000:12:06.620 latch support and this bar over here 00:12:08.20000:12:08.210 where it mounts the frame rail so you 00:12:10.66000:12:10.670 don't really have that much flexibility 00:12:12.16000:12:12.170 so really no matter where you go as long 00:12:13.87000:12:13.880 as you're level you should be good so 00:12:15.61000:12:15.620 what I did is I drilled holes here on 00:12:18.22000:12:18.230 this side and then this side and then I 00:12:21.25000:12:21.260 use a level and mat I drilled the holes 00:12:24.07000:12:24.080 in the same part actually slightly 00:12:25.81000:12:25.820 higher over here because I check the 00:12:27.97000:12:27.980 level and it looked like it needed to be 00:12:29.11000:12:29.120 there and then you can see that our 00:12:31.21000:12:31.220 level is good on our bubble these do 00:12:33.52000:12:33.530 have a good amount of flexibility 00:12:35.56000:12:35.570 because they're slotted so they can go 00:12:37.06000:12:37.070 up and down and either way so you will 00:12:39.46000:12:39.470 want to make sure that you keep that in 00:12:42.43000:12:42.440 mind when you're drilling any of this 00:12:44.38000:12:44.390 stuff is that you do have some 00:12:45.43000:12:45.440 flexibility before you tighten this up 00:12:47.26000:12:47.270 and and finish up all right now we're 00:12:48.88000:12:48.890 gonna install this adapter piece and 00:12:51.40000:12:51.410 just push that down and then we're gonna 00:12:53.44000:12:53.450 take this piece and just thread that in 00:12:55.63000:12:55.640 place now I would recommend to lubricate 00:12:59.02000:12:59.030 the seals with oil before you do that 00:13:01.51000:13:01.520 and then just snug it up by hand a 00:13:04.21000:13:04.220 little bit and this is a 27 let me or 00:13:06.01000:13:06.020 not you are gonna need a deep version of 00:13:08.02000:13:08.030 that nut to clear that stud and this 00:13:10.81000:13:10.820 should read easily no problems if you 00:13:13.72000:13:13.730 have any binding should inspect why 00:13:16.27000:13:16.280 that's the case and that is pretty much 00:13:19.09000:13:19.100 just stopped you can see it 00:13:21.07000:13:21.080 halted very abruptly there all right so 00:13:23.23000:13:23.240 now we have our hoses and then we have 00:13:25.42000:13:25.430 this adapter plate now this adaptively 00:13:27.40000:13:27.410 it has two seals that come on it I took 00:13:29.25900:13:29.269 them off they started falling off and I 00:13:32.32000:13:32.330 didn't want to mess with it and have 00:13:33.61000:13:33.620 them fall somewhere in the engine bay so 00:13:35.05000:13:35.060 the way we're going to be doing this is 00:13:37.32900:13:37.339 I have these hoses and we're gonna have 00:13:39.69900:13:39.709 them feed down into the engine bay and 00:13:42.67000:13:42.680 then out the front of the engine bay 00:13:44.17000:13:44.180 near the radiator support so you want to 00:13:46.84000:13:46.850 make sure you have the right side up and 00:13:48.10000:13:48.110 the right side down so the seals that 00:13:49.54000:13:49.550 the two o-rings or removing face down 00:13:52.26900:13:52.279 towards the bottom of the vehicle and 00:13:53.65000:13:53.660 then this these hoses actually face to 00:13:56.29000:13:56.300 this side so I fed them in place because 00:13:59.31000:13:59.320 threading these things after you try to 00:14:02.07900:14:02.089 run these and then thread them in the 00:14:04.24000:14:04.250 car is gonna be a nightmare so you do 00:14:06.46000:14:06.470 want to make sure that the threaded 00:14:07.75000:14:07.760 parts here that you can see that have 00:14:09.31000:14:09.320 the threads sticking out the male 00:14:11.13900:14:11.149 portion you thread them into this before 00:14:14.07900:14:14.089 you try to throw this into the car 00:14:15.67000:14:15.680 otherwise I think you're gonna have a 00:14:16.93000:14:16.940 bad day so we're gonna throw this into 00:14:19.36000:14:19.370 the vehicle so let's watch feeding it in 00:14:21.91000:14:21.920 so you can get an idea of how I did that 00:14:24.06900:14:24.079 alright we're gonna feed these down 00:14:25.44900:14:25.459 underneath here in front of the engine 00:14:28.38900:14:28.399 mount and again keep in mind you're 00:14:31.06000:14:31.070 gonna make sure you have your hose 00:14:32.26000:14:32.270 orientation in the right place and one 00:14:34.66000:14:34.670 thing I did forget to mention is you 00:14:36.40000:14:36.410 want to make sure you have the short 00:14:37.81000:14:37.820 hose towards the front of the vehicle 00:14:39.67000:14:39.680 that means that you'll have the short 00:14:42.25000:14:42.260 hose on the front side here in the two 00:14:44.94900:14:44.959 holes that are in this sandwich plate 00:14:47.88900:14:47.899 and we're gonna feed down and they're 00:14:52.24000:14:52.250 hanging up on the bottom so I'm gonna 00:14:53.50000:14:53.510 we're gonna go down there and show you 00:14:54.49000:14:54.500 what that looks like down there okay so 00:14:56.05000:14:56.060 now we have our hoses that we're gonna 00:14:57.43000:14:57.440 come through here we have an all track 00:14:58.84000:14:58.850 so this has a vertical support brace 00:15:01.51000:15:01.520 that a lot of these other cars won't 00:15:02.82900:15:02.839 have so you'll probably have a little 00:15:04.68900:15:04.699 more freedom to work here another note 00:15:06.49000:15:06.500 we're missing a horn here because when I 00:15:08.19900:15:08.209 bought this car and it was salvaged make 00:15:11.01900:15:11.029 sure you check out the video series if 00:15:12.31000:15:12.320 you haven't the are horn was damaged so 00:15:16.42000:15:16.430 we removed it so we have another horn on 00:15:19.21000:15:19.220 the other side that we only have one so 00:15:20.68000:15:20.690 you feed your hoses through here and 00:15:22.56900:15:22.579 you're gonna have to hold at the top to 00:15:25.09000:15:25.100 kind of feed everything down from the 00:15:26.56000:15:26.570 top while you feed these on the bottom 00:15:29.43900:15:29.449 and so you kind of have to kind of walk 00:15:32.38000:15:32.390 them in 00:15:33.28000:15:33.290 until you get that in place as we're 00:15:35.50000:15:35.510 feeding this down you can kind of feed 00:15:38.59000:15:38.600 the hoses in and then make sure you're 00:15:40.18000:15:40.190 clearing everything here there are some 00:15:42.25000:15:42.260 cool and hoses here that make it a 00:15:43.75000:15:43.760 little more challenging and I'm gonna 00:15:46.75000:15:46.760 pop this line up real quick just to get 00:15:48.88000:15:48.890 that out of the way it's slightly in the 00:15:50.80000:15:50.810 way as we're trying to feed that down 00:15:52.09000:15:52.100 and then where we've got that in place 00:15:54.13000:15:54.140 now what I have not done is put the 00:15:57.31000:15:57.320 seals on the bottom of this thing so we 00:15:59.26000:15:59.270 do want to go ahead and do that now so 00:16:01.30000:16:01.310 I'm going to lift this up and feed those 00:16:05.11000:16:05.120 seals over and then this threaded piece 00:16:07.03000:16:07.040 goes down on top so I'm gonna get that 00:16:10.06000:16:10.070 done I don't think you're gonna see much 00:16:11.83000:16:11.840 while I do that and they're pretty much 00:16:13.39000:16:13.400 just kind of moms will probably block 00:16:14.86000:16:14.870 the entire shot but this parts pretty 00:16:16.63000:16:16.640 important because if you mess this up 00:16:19.12000:16:19.130 you're probably gonna spray coolant 00:16:20.59000:16:20.600 everywhere or oil everywhere you can 00:16:22.81000:16:22.820 frame coolant you broke something along 00:16:24.82000:16:24.830 the way now here's a smaller ring and 00:16:27.25000:16:27.260 I'm just gonna feed this guy in place 00:16:29.50000:16:29.510 now I'm gonna just grab this and push 00:16:33.43000:16:33.440 this to the bottom of this adapter plate 00:16:36.09000:16:36.100 but I feel if you don't feel comfortable 00:16:38.86000:16:38.870 with that you may want to try to do some 00:16:41.20000:16:41.210 type of adhesive before you go to put 00:16:43.36000:16:43.370 this thing down to kind of stick it in 00:16:45.58000:16:45.590 there and make sure it stays in place 00:16:48.01000:16:48.020 and there's again inner/outer 00:16:50.89000:16:50.900 the Big O ring goes on the outer edge of 00:16:54.64000:16:54.650 this plate and the small one goes in the 00:16:56.68000:16:56.690 inner okay so what I'm doing right here 00:16:58.24000:16:58.250 I am I have the splash shot in I'm 00:17:00.34000:17:00.350 verifying that the seals are seated 00:17:02.14000:17:02.150 properly I've got a little bit of oil 00:17:04.27000:17:04.280 and I'm lubing these o-rings just to 00:17:07.33000:17:07.340 make sure that they seal well and then 00:17:11.02000:17:11.030 I'm just gonna put this plate down and 00:17:13.23000:17:13.240 I'm gonna try as long as I can to hang 00:17:16.84000:17:16.850 on to these seals to make sure they stay 00:17:18.79000:17:18.800 in place and then I'm gonna take this 00:17:21.70000:17:21.710 adaptor thread it on the inside and then 00:17:24.10000:17:24.110 thread it on the outside and should lock 00:17:26.95000:17:26.960 this thing down 00:17:28.23000:17:28.240 okay so I've I have not tighten this up 00:17:30.85000:17:30.860 I just threaded down most of the way and 00:17:32.95000:17:32.960 I want to have a little bit of 00:17:35.14000:17:35.150 flexibility in movement of this while we 00:17:37.93000:17:37.940 finish up these hoses okay so what I 00:17:39.76000:17:39.770 found works best on this is if this 00:17:41.89000:17:41.900 front hose though 00:17:43.76000:17:43.770 goes all the way to the opposite side 00:17:46.88000:17:46.890 here you can kind of get that in place 00:17:48.74000:17:48.750 there now this other one which is the 00:17:51.23000:17:51.240 short hose you're gonna want to make 00:17:53.39000:17:53.400 sure that you route it in a way that you 00:17:55.34000:17:55.350 keep that on top of the other one just 00:17:56.93000:17:56.940 to make sure you don't want to crossing 00:17:58.82000:17:58.830 over as little as possible and what I 00:18:01.61000:18:01.620 found because right here there is kind 00:18:04.16000:18:04.170 of a piece of metal on the rebar that 00:18:07.52000:18:07.530 comes below you have you can't get a 00:18:09.65000:18:09.660 good approach angle if you come around 00:18:11.00000:18:11.010 the front so you have to come around the 00:18:13.03900:18:13.049 back and go at this angle here so if you 00:18:16.34000:18:16.350 slid it over a little bit there's not 00:18:18.32000:18:18.330 really a lot of room to work with you 00:18:19.85000:18:19.860 might be able to come from the front 00:18:21.74000:18:21.750 side or you probably to cut out this 00:18:24.08000:18:24.090 piece which would take you forever and 00:18:25.66900:18:25.679 release pointless so I would say just go 00:18:28.10000:18:28.110 with this and we're gonna snuggle and 00:18:34.19000:18:34.200 the way you get these hoses tight is 00:18:37.97000:18:37.980 kind of wiggle them back and forth while 00:18:40.34000:18:40.350 you tighten them on to the oil cooler 00:18:42.71000:18:42.720 and though they should thread down on 00:18:44.78000:18:44.790 for you couple notes we are finished up 00:18:47.21000:18:47.220 here we did route this this mounting on 00:18:50.48000:18:50.490 this side behind now if you had this a 00:18:53.60000:18:53.610 little bit lower you'd be able to mount 00:18:55.13000:18:55.140 it on the front side so is because I 00:18:57.32000:18:57.330 drilled as high as I did that it doesn't 00:18:59.39000:18:59.400 allow us the ability to drop down as far 00:19:02.29900:19:02.309 as you would like to unless there's an 00:19:05.00000:19:05.010 issue with this as far as either air 00:19:07.19000:19:07.200 flow or fibbin or something like that 00:19:08.41900:19:08.429 I'm not gonna worry and as long as these 00:19:10.46000:19:10.470 lines don't have any issues with with 00:19:12.16900:19:12.179 chafing or anything like that I'm not 00:19:14.90000:19:14.910 gonna be concerned about the lines being 00:19:17.15000:19:17.160 where they are I think they're fine the 00:19:18.47000:19:18.480 way they are 00:19:18.95000:19:18.960 I have snug them up you will want to 00:19:20.53900:19:20.549 make sure you have an either an aien 00:19:22.19000:19:22.200 wrench or an adjustable wrench and what 00:19:24.65000:19:24.660 you can do is put like some tape on the 00:19:26.18000:19:26.190 ends of the a.n run or the adjustable 00:19:27.98000:19:27.990 wrench to prevent you from messing up 00:19:29.75000:19:29.760 your a and fittings and keeping them 00:19:31.97000:19:31.980 nice and fresh looking so one note we 00:19:34.15900:19:34.169 are going to install this this line hose 00:19:37.76000:19:37.770 clamp that basically keeps the lines 00:19:39.79900:19:39.809 mounting together I'm gonna install this 00:19:41.63000:19:41.640 over here on the belt side to keep it 00:19:43.28000:19:43.290 from moving around too much in a belt 00:19:45.68000:19:45.690 routing area because you want to make 00:19:46.94000:19:46.950 sure you don't have your lines touch the 00:19:49.37000:19:49.380 belts another important note these this 00:19:52.34000:19:52.350 oil cooler obviously is going to have 00:19:53.80000:19:53.810 running through it to keep it cool if 00:19:56.02000:19:56.030 you were to get into a friend collision 00:19:58.03000:19:58.040 you want to make sure you would turn 00:19:58.99000:19:59.000 your car off right away because you're 00:20:00.82000:20:00.830 gonna probably have oil spilling all 00:20:02.29000:20:02.300 over the road and your engine oil is 00:20:04.27000:20:04.280 going to be gone and you'll potentially 00:20:06.64000:20:06.650 lock up your engine so if you were to 00:20:08.53000:20:08.540 get in an accident and damage this and 00:20:10.21000:20:10.220 it was leaking oil you will want to make 00:20:11.56000:20:11.570 sure you don't run your car I am going 00:20:14.35000:20:14.360 to be mounting this clamp right here 00:20:16.27000:20:16.280 where you can take a look all you do is 00:20:18.22000:20:18.230 kind of grab that on one side grab this 00:20:20.98000:20:20.990 on the other and then we're going to 00:20:22.99000:20:23.000 clamp these two guys together to keep 00:20:25.60000:20:25.610 them from touching anything now we're 00:20:27.34000:20:27.350 going to tighten up our 27 here I'm also 00:20:32.17000:20:32.180 going to tighten up our a n lines it's a 00:20:34.15000:20:34.160 double check to make sure they're tight 00:20:36.10000:20:36.110 you also going to look down to make sure 00:20:38.02000:20:38.030 you have good clearance on all your 00:20:40.27000:20:40.280 belts and everything alright we are 00:20:42.19000:20:42.200 installing our oil filter I'm gonna just 00:20:44.50000:20:44.510 put a little bit oil again on the seal 00:20:46.69000:20:46.700 just to make sure it gets good seal on 00:20:49.63000:20:49.640 there and we could spin this guy on I'm 00:20:53.98000:20:53.990 gonna snuggle and I'm you could use a 32 00:20:56.98000:20:56.990 I wouldn't recommend tightening this 00:20:58.21000:20:58.220 like crazy cuz you shouldn't tighten oil 00:21:01.60000:21:01.610 filters out tight so that should be good 00:21:03.28000:21:03.290 and tight and then we are gonna have to 00:21:06.10000:21:06.110 add more oil because obviously this adds 00:21:08.11000:21:08.120 capacity to the system so we're gonna 00:21:10.66000:21:10.670 add a little bit oil and then start it 00:21:12.61000:21:12.620 up and check our oil level once you 00:21:14.23000:21:14.240 completed your install you can check the 00:21:15.73000:21:15.740 vehicle for leaks make sure all the 00:21:17.44000:21:17.450 points is sandwich plate and all those 00:21:18.79000:21:18.800 adaptors are not having issues leaking 00:21:20.83000:21:20.840 again the important thing whenever 00:21:22.18000:21:22.190 you're dealing with things in the oil 00:21:23.26000:21:23.270 system if your oil level ever turns on 00:21:25.27000:21:25.280 if you or Allah is ever flashing you 00:21:27.55000:21:27.560 need to make sure you stop the engine 00:21:29.38000:21:29.390 immediately anything failure to do so 00:21:31.60000:21:31.610 could damage the engine important notes 00:21:33.88000:21:33.890 along the way we're gonna reinstall our 00:21:35.53000:21:35.540 bumper we're not going to show you that 00:21:36.61000:21:36.620 whole process but if you are having 00:21:39.07000:21:39.080 somebody else service your vehicle you 00:21:40.45000:21:40.460 need to make sure number one they don't 00:21:41.47000:21:41.480 throw it your oil filter because 00:21:42.97000:21:42.980 obviously that's an expensive piece and 00:21:45.70000:21:45.710 you need to at some point service the 00:21:47.89000:21:47.900 steel mesh filter you also will need to 00:21:50.71000:21:50.720 keep in mind you because of this you 00:21:52.60000:21:52.610 have a higher capacity of your oil so 00:21:55.15000:21:55.160 your oil capacity is gonna be about a 00:21:56.98000:21:56.990 half quart to a quart roughly on average 00:21:59.86000:21:59.870 and so you are going to need to get more 00:22:02.47000:22:02.480 oil into the engine in that circumstance 00:22:04.90000:22:04.910 so hopefully it's important to keep note 00:22:07.12000:22:07.130 of those things 00:22:07.72000:22:07.730 and hopefully you enjoyed this video 00:22:09.31000:22:09.320 also if you're coming to us for the 00:22:12.75900:22:12.769 first time
