00:00:00.860 hello again YouTube and I've got another 00:00:03.40900:00:03.419 do-it-yourself video for you guys in 00:00:05.36000:00:05.370 this one I'm going to be installing an 00:00:06.95000:00:06.960 oil cooler in my 370z if you guys find 00:00:10.22000:00:10.230 this video helpful give it a thumbs up 00:00:11.57000:00:11.580 and even hit that subscribe button down 00:00:12.98000:00:12.990 below for more do it yourself videos the 00:00:15.02000:00:15.030 first things first we need to get the 00:00:16.49000:00:16.500 front of the car jacked up just high 00:00:18.38000:00:18.390 enough so that I can actually get 00:00:19.46000:00:19.470 underneath it to be able to work on the 00:00:20.63000:00:20.640 car so let's get right to it now 00:00:22.67000:00:22.680 whenever I'm jacking my vehicles up I do 00:00:24.59000:00:24.600 use a floor jack and I do make sure to 00:00:26.48000:00:26.490 use a what's called pinch ball the 00:00:29.02900:00:29.039 debtor 00:00:29.50900:00:29.519 it's basically just a rubber puck that 00:00:30.80000:00:30.810 you stick on top of the jack so you'd be 00:00:32.87000:00:32.880 able to prevent the jack from damaging 00:00:34.52000:00:34.530 the pinch welds the location is you're 00:00:36.35000:00:36.360 gonna he's gonna be on the designated 00:00:40.06900:00:40.079 jack points for this car you will see 00:00:42.79900:00:42.809 these two grooves right here that marks 00:00:44.95900:00:44.969 where you want to stick her jack so that 00:00:46.43000:00:46.440 you can safely Jack the car up so I'm 00:00:48.11000:00:48.120 just gonna stick the jack underneath 00:00:50.18000:00:50.190 this point and proceed to jack the car 00:01:02.61000:01:02.620 if you do not already have a floor jack 00:01:05.11000:01:05.120 I highly recommend investing in one 00:01:06.70000:01:06.710 these things only cost around $50 for a 00:01:09.01000:01:09.020 basic standard unit and this makes 00:01:11.47000:01:11.480 Jack's on the car up a lot easier 00:01:12.76000:01:12.770 instead of having these days scissor 00:01:14.02000:01:14.030 jacks they come with the car the next 00:01:23.50000:01:23.510 thing I want to do is position your 00:01:24.55000:01:24.560 floor jack in place underneath the pinch 00:01:26.23000:01:26.240 weld and I use yet another adapter for 00:01:29.74000:01:29.750 the jack stand to prevent any damage to 00:01:32.14000:01:32.150 the pinch weld and then at this point 00:01:36.94000:01:36.950 you want to slowly let the jack down so 00:01:43.42000:01:43.430 the car rests on top of the jack stand 00:01:47.16000:01:47.170 now we'll just go and repeat the same 00:01:49.09000:01:49.100 steps on the other side making sure that 00:01:50.46900:01:50.479 we Jack the car up to about the same 00:01:51.96900:01:51.979 height 00:01:55.13000:01:55.140 [Music] 00:01:59.40000:01:59.410 and one thing I forgot to mention is you 00:02:02.38000:02:02.390 do want to make sure you set your 00:02:03.70000:02:03.710 parking brake that's that the car 00:02:05.20000:02:05.210 doesn't slide back on you it's that way 00:02:07.45000:02:07.460 it's nice and secure up in here and with 00:02:10.03000:02:10.040 the car sleep eject up in the air now 00:02:11.83000:02:11.840 the next order of business is gonna be 00:02:13.42000:02:13.430 to go ahead and pop the hood and then we 00:02:15.55000:02:15.560 will disconnect the negative terminal of 00:02:16.81000:02:16.820 the battery so the batter will be 00:02:18.34000:02:18.350 underneath this cover here in the back 00:02:20.11000:02:20.120 left corner of the engine bay just go 00:02:22.33000:02:22.340 ahead pull the tabs open to be able to 00:02:24.13000:02:24.140 expose the battery and negative 00:02:26.59000:02:26.600 terminals here on this side should be a 00:02:28.21000:02:28.220 10 millimeter socket and with that loose 00:02:34.54000:02:34.550 you want to tuck away somewhere safely 00:02:36.13000:02:36.140 where it won't be at risk of moving up 00:02:38.23000:02:38.240 and making contact with an eye go to 00:02:39.43000:02:39.440 terminal again so now that that's tucked 00:02:41.17000:02:41.180 out of the way we can proceed to 00:02:42.58000:02:42.590 removing some of the under shrouds 00:02:44.59000:02:44.600 underneath Apryl as well as the front 00:02:47.38000:02:47.390 cover and in order to make it easier for 00:02:49.21000:02:49.220 you to take off the fender liner and be 00:02:51.40000:02:51.410 able to remove the front bumper I am 00:02:53.11000:02:53.120 just gonna go ahead and remove both of 00:02:54.76000:02:54.770 the front wheels this isn't strictly 00:02:56.59000:02:56.600 necessary but it will allow you to slide 00:02:58.54000:02:58.550 out from underneath the car a little 00:02:59.62000:02:59.630 easier while you're working underneath 00:03:00.82000:03:00.830 it to clarify you do need to remove the 00:03:03.25000:03:03.260 passenger side wheel like I'm doing now 00:03:04.99000:03:05.000 you don't have to remove the driver side 00:03:07.09000:03:07.100 wheel but it will make accessing the 00:03:08.62000:03:08.630 bolt that holds the bumper on a lot 00:03:10.12000:03:10.130 easier 00:03:13.75000:03:13.76000:03:17.60000:03:17.610 so now we are sitting underneath the car 00:03:19.97900:03:19.989 and we are going to remove this plastic 00:03:21.39000:03:21.400 under shroud that covers the oil pan to 00:03:23.36900:03:23.379 do that you're going to take off a lot 00:03:25.11000:03:25.120 of these ten millimeter bolts that are 00:03:26.55000:03:26.560 lining the outside I'm actually missing 00:03:28.89000:03:28.900 a couple of them for some reason mine 00:03:30.75000:03:30.760 weren't here when I got it from the 00:03:31.94900:03:31.959 dealership and apart from those ten 00:03:34.05000:03:34.060 millimeter bolts you will also have some 00:03:36.44900:03:36.459 of these little plastic clips in the 00:03:37.77000:03:37.780 center that you'll need to remove as 00:03:39.14900:03:39.159 well there's about three of them I think 00:03:41.10000:03:41.110 here to the center and then you should 00:03:42.78000:03:42.790 be able to take this plastic shroud off 00:03:45.41000:03:45.42000:03:54.26000:03:54.270 and here's a better view of those 00:03:56.19000:03:56.200 plastic clips you can just get 00:03:57.99000:03:58.000 underneath them from one side and fly 00:03:59.58000:03:59.590 that if you want to but if you have two 00:04:01.38000:04:01.390 flat heads I'd recommend trying to go in 00:04:02.97000:04:02.980 from the two sides at once that'll 00:04:04.68000:04:04.690 prevent any damage to the clip but you 00:04:06.44900:04:06.459 just need to pop this centerpiece out 00:04:08.13000:04:08.140 right here and then you can pull the 00:04:09.27000:04:09.280 entire clip out 00:04:11.14000:04:11.15000:04:15.77000:04:15.780 all right next thing to do is remove 00:04:17.42000:04:17.430 these little air shields here they're on 00:04:19.12900:04:19.139 both sides of the car they sit in front 00:04:20.96000:04:20.970 of the tires it looks like there's just 00:04:22.94000:04:22.950 three ten millimeter bolts holding these 00:04:24.65000:04:24.660 on you only have to remove this air 00:04:28.37000:04:28.380 guard from the passenger side but if you 00:04:30.17000:04:30.180 remove it from the driver's side it will 00:04:31.64000:04:31.650 make peeling the fender liner back 00:04:33.29000:04:33.300 easier later when we decide to take the 00:04:34.97000:04:34.980 bumper off and with this air dam piece 00:04:39.14000:04:39.150 removed they'll go ahead and also remove 00:04:40.61000:04:40.620 this from a Nintendo on their bolt and 00:04:42.47000:04:42.480 this little clip right here that's 00:04:43.90900:04:43.919 holding this bottom section to the 00:04:45.53000:04:45.540 fender 00:04:46.00000:04:46.010 once again this bolt and clip are 00:04:48.32000:04:48.330 optional on the driver side but I would 00:04:50.33000:04:50.340 recommend going ahead and removing him 00:04:52.61000:04:52.62000:04:59.05000:04:59.060 now the instructions sent from z1 do 00:05:02.06000:05:02.070 call for the entire passenger side 00:05:04.04000:05:04.050 fender liner to be removed so we can 00:05:06.11000:05:06.120 start off by removing this plastic panel 00:05:08.39000:05:08.400 in the back here which is held on by 00:05:09.74000:05:09.750 three clips 00:05:20.14000:05:20.150 and then I believe I see four additional 00:05:22.12000:05:22.130 clips holding this fender liner on 00:05:23.34000:05:23.350 there's one clip sitting here right next 00:05:25.65900:05:25.669 to the panel we just removed one that's 00:05:27.96900:05:27.979 sitting up here one that's connecting it 00:05:30.34000:05:30.350 to the other section of the fender and 00:05:32.89000:05:32.900 then there's one sitting right over here 00:05:35.46000:05:35.470 on the passenger side you only need to 00:05:37.78000:05:37.790 remove this clip on the side so that way 00:05:39.49000:05:39.500 you can peel the fender liner back so 00:05:41.11000:05:41.120 you can access the bolt that holds the 00:05:42.76000:05:42.770 bumper on and this is what you'll see 00:05:44.71000:05:44.720 once you have removed that fender liner 00:05:46.59000:05:46.600 the next thing you want to do is you'll 00:05:48.55000:05:48.560 want to remove this ten millimeter bolt 00:05:50.32000:05:50.330 that sits up top that connects to the 00:05:52.06000:05:52.070 bumper 00:06:22.52900:06:22.539 so now the next thing that we are going 00:06:25.08900:06:25.099 to do is go ahead and remove this piece 00:06:28.33000:06:28.340 right here in this air dam deflector 00:06:30.21900:06:30.229 there's just a bunch of little plastic 00:06:33.07000:06:33.080 clips both on the bumper side and on the 00:06:36.61000:06:36.620 air dam side right here you just need to 00:06:38.35000:06:38.360 undo all these and then the air dam is 00:06:40.33000:06:40.340 supposed to be able to slide out from 00:06:41.46900:06:41.479 underneath the front bumper 00:06:43.81000:06:43.82000:06:53.88000:06:53.890 so Zee ones instructions tell you to go 00:06:56.71000:06:56.720 ahead and remove this piece before you 00:06:58.42000:06:58.430 take off the bumper but I'm gonna go 00:06:59.83000:06:59.840 ahead and do the reverse I'm gonna take 00:07:01.60000:07:01.610 the bumper off first because this thing 00:07:03.82000:07:03.830 is tightly wedged underneath the bumper 00:07:05.56000:07:05.570 here so let's take the bumper off first 00:07:07.84000:07:07.850 and then we should be able to remove 00:07:09.04000:07:09.050 that piece now right now the bumper is 00:07:11.41000:07:11.420 currently only going to be held on by 00:07:13.18000:07:13.190 Clips both on this side and right here 00:07:17.23000:07:17.240 underneath the headlights so what you'll 00:07:19.81000:07:19.820 need to do is you'll need to pull firmly 00:07:22.00000:07:22.010 on both sides you don't want to pull too 00:07:23.62000:07:23.630 hard you're not trying to break the 00:07:24.79000:07:24.800 bumper but just give it a firm tug 00:07:27.18000:07:27.190 directly out from the headlight and then 00:07:29.59000:07:29.600 those clips should be able to pop off 00:07:46.03000:07:46.040 I would recommend finding a second 00:07:55.33000:07:55.340 person to help you remove this bumper 00:07:56.86000:07:56.870 because it means you can have somebody 00:07:58.18000:07:58.190 on either side when you do remove the 00:08:00.79000:08:00.800 bumper completely it will still be held 00:08:02.44000:08:02.450 on to the car by the wires that go to 00:08:04.60000:08:04.610 the fog lights so you don't want to let 00:08:06.76000:08:06.770 the weight of the bumper rest on those 00:08:08.26000:08:08.270 fog lights you do want to kind of keep 00:08:09.70000:08:09.710 the bumper propped up as you remove the 00:08:11.68000:08:11.690 cables and just to kind of show you guys 00:08:14.14000:08:14.150 what you're gonna have to deal with with 00:08:15.61000:08:15.620 these they are attached just by a simple 00:08:19.45000:08:19.460 plug here you just got to press down 00:08:20.98000:08:20.990 pretty firmly on the top there to be 00:08:23.26000:08:23.270 able to loosen it and then it's held to 00:08:25.87000:08:25.880 the bumper by this guy if you just 00:08:28.30000:08:28.310 pinched the sides here 00:08:29.68000:08:29.690 besides kind of dent in and then you can 00:08:31.81000:08:31.820 pull that out of the bumper so that you 00:08:33.19000:08:33.200 free this cable on the other side of the 00:08:36.40000:08:36.410 car here you'll have this male plug 00:08:37.90000:08:37.910 which will also detach in the same way 00:08:39.94000:08:39.950 there's just a little tab here that you 00:08:42.37000:08:42.380 press on the top and then that cable on 00:08:45.19000:08:45.200 the bumper is connected to the reservoir 00:08:47.53000:08:47.540 right here you also just have to pinch 00:08:49.72000:08:49.730 the little nub on this side to be able 00:08:51.22000:08:51.230 to free the cable now hopefully this air 00:08:53.74000:08:53.750 dam should be able to come off a little 00:08:55.30000:08:55.310 easier now 00:09:00.66000:09:00.670 there we go that's not removed now 00:09:04.96000:09:04.970 removing this Center bar here is not 00:09:07.57000:09:07.580 strictly necessary in order to be able 00:09:09.37000:09:09.380 to install this oil cooler but it will 00:09:11.32000:09:11.330 make the job a lot easier so I'm just 00:09:13.21000:09:13.220 gonna go ahead and remove it it should 00:09:15.49000:09:15.500 just pull out like so set this aside and 00:09:19.27000:09:19.280 then there will be it looks like four 00:09:21.64000:09:21.650 bolts on both sides that we'll need to 00:09:25.03000:09:25.040 remove now would be a good time to go 00:09:35.29000:09:35.300 ahead and drain your oil just go up top 00:09:37.18000:09:37.190 to the engine and take off the oil 00:09:39.10000:09:39.110 filler cap and then loosen the oil drain 00:09:41.74000:09:41.750 plug down below and then go ahead and 00:09:43.87000:09:43.880 remove your oil filter as well 00:09:48.49000:09:48.50000:09:54.61000:09:54.620 and while you're running on the older 00:09:56.01900:09:56.029 drain it might be beneficial to go ahead 00:09:57.46000:09:57.470 and just start cleaning up the radiator 00:09:58.99000:09:59.000 here your Z's probably been to battle 00:10:00.91000:10:00.920 with quite a few insects in its time so 00:10:02.98000:10:02.990 it might be useful to go ahead and just 00:10:04.45000:10:04.460 clean up the radiator while you're 00:10:05.98000:10:05.990 waiting on all that oil to drain 00:10:08.01000:10:08.02000:10:17.39000:10:17.400 all right got the radiator by the 00:10:19.80000:10:19.810 subpoenas I'm gonna get it today just 00:10:21.24000:10:21.250 ended up using a little toothbrush to 00:10:22.71000:10:22.720 kind of knock out some of the stuff 00:10:24.18000:10:24.190 that's sitting in there about most of 00:10:25.71000:10:25.720 the big pieces there's still some small 00:10:27.63000:10:27.640 stuff that's actually going to be 00:10:28.59000:10:28.600 sitting in between each of the teeth 00:10:29.76000:10:29.770 here and I can't get to but it's a lot 00:10:32.37000:10:32.380 cleaner than when I started 00:10:33.45000:10:33.460 so it looks like the oil is just about 00:10:35.88000:10:35.890 finished draining now so we'll go ahead 00:10:38.25000:10:38.260 and put back in the oil drain plug and 00:10:40.98000:10:40.990 I'll go ahead and seal off the top as 00:10:43.14000:10:43.150 well just to make sure that nothing ends 00:10:45.48000:10:45.490 up falling into the oil pan all right 00:10:50.79000:10:50.800 now that we got all of the panels 00:10:52.23000:10:52.240 removed off of Z this time to actually 00:10:54.30000:10:54.310 start assembling the oil cooler core and 00:10:57.30000:10:57.310 the brackets so we'll go ahead and grab 00:10:58.95000:10:58.960 the supplied hardware and the core 00:11:01.77000:11:01.780 itself and stuff with zip ties aside 00:11:04.38000:11:04.390 don't really need those so the first 00:11:07.59000:11:07.600 step is to get out this aluminum bracket 00:11:08.85000:11:08.860 here and we need to go ahead and free up 00:11:10.92000:11:10.930 these small little brackets that are 00:11:13.08000:11:13.090 attached to it using an Allen wrench 00:11:26.55000:11:26.560 now with those two smaller brackets 00:11:28.47000:11:28.480 removed off of larger lumen imrat we 00:11:31.65000:11:31.660 should now be able to go ahead and just 00:11:33.17900:11:33.189 attach this to the bottom of the core 00:11:34.65000:11:34.660 according to Z ones instructions this 00:11:37.29000:11:37.300 bracket is reversible you can put it on 00:11:39.32900:11:39.339 either way because the core can be 00:11:40.71000:11:40.720 rotated when you actually fit it on the 00:11:42.09000:11:42.100 vehicle so I'm going to go ahead and 00:11:44.22000:11:44.230 just get that lined up and then go ahead 00:11:47.28000:11:47.290 and reattach the brackets using your 00:11:49.47000:11:49.480 allen wrench the installation 00:11:51.62900:11:51.639 instructions that I'm giving right now 00:11:53.12900:11:53.139 are specific to the Z one oil cooler kit 00:11:55.55900:11:55.569 if you go for a Mishimoto kit the 00:11:58.35000:11:58.360 brackets may be slightly different so 00:12:00.09000:12:00.100 make sure you consult the installation 00:12:01.82900:12:01.839 manual that they provide this is what it 00:12:04.13900:12:04.149 should look like you'll have the two 00:12:05.87900:12:05.889 rubber pieces sandwich chain the plate 00:12:07.76900:12:07.779 coming off of the core the gold pieces 00:12:09.80900:12:09.819 on the bottom there which is threaded to 00:12:11.67000:12:11.680 receive the allen wrench screws now with 00:12:14.57900:12:14.589 that lower aluminum bracket installed 00:12:16.41000:12:16.420 the next piece we are going to install 00:12:18.09000:12:18.100 is this smaller upper bracket the 00:12:20.40000:12:20.410 position of the smaller bracket relative 00:12:22.37900:12:22.389 to the bottom aluminum bracket is pretty 00:12:24.05900:12:24.069 important with this bottom point facing 00:12:27.21000:12:27.220 forward you want to install the upper 00:12:29.87900:12:29.889 bracket sort of like that and that is 00:12:34.04900:12:34.059 the upper bracket mounted with a ten 00:12:35.61000:12:35.620 millimeter bolts again if the plate is 00:12:38.10000:12:38.110 facing this way you want to make sure 00:12:39.38900:12:39.399 that this upper mount is facing the 00:12:41.10000:12:41.110 opposite direction and in the upper left 00:12:43.29000:12:43.300 corner alright the next step is now to 00:12:46.35000:12:46.360 install these two little u clips that z1 00:12:49.11000:12:49.120 supplies i've already gone ahead and 00:12:50.57900:12:50.589 clip those on you just need to unthread 00:12:53.24900:12:53.259 the bolt that comes already assembled in 00:12:55.17000:12:55.180 them and then they just kind of snap 00:12:56.93900:12:56.949 into place like so you don't want to 00:13:00.68900:13:00.699 push these clips all the way in 00:13:01.86000:13:01.870 otherwise I found it's really difficult 00:13:03.26900:13:03.279 to be able to get the oil cooler bracket 00:13:05.18900:13:05.199 to line up correctly so you just want to 00:13:07.07900:13:07.089 push them in far enough so you can 00:13:08.18900:13:08.199 thread a bolt now we should be able to 00:13:10.71000:13:10.720 temporarily position the core using two 00:13:13.98000:13:13.990 bottom brackets that we just need old 00:13:18.75000:13:18.760 alright guys so skipped a couple steps 00:13:20.71000:13:20.720 here with you but I finally got the core 00:13:22.42000:13:22.430 lined up with those brackets that we've 00:13:24.06900:13:24.079 placed in there with those brackets I 00:13:26.23000:13:26.240 wouldn't push them in all the way 00:13:27.28000:13:27.290 because they don't line up perfectly 00:13:28.84000:13:28.850 with this lower bracket for the core so 00:13:31.48000:13:31.490 I would just kind of keep those loose 00:13:33.25000:13:33.260 that way can actually get these bolts 00:13:34.81000:13:34.820 lined up now I don't have these tighten 00:13:36.57900:13:36.589 down all the way because the next step 00:13:37.81000:13:37.820 is going to be that we're going to need 00:13:39.40000:13:39.410 to drill a hole in this Center bracket 00:13:41.80000:13:41.810 here so that way we can mount the core 00:13:43.80000:13:43.810 so the next step is to go ahead and mark 00:13:46.81000:13:46.820 a spot to drill through the center core 00:13:48.91000:13:48.920 support for this upper bracket so I'm 00:13:52.00000:13:52.010 going to locate the position where I 00:13:53.88900:13:53.899 want to drill and I'm going to go ahead 00:13:54.88000:13:54.890 and make a little mark with this 00:13:56.25900:13:56.269 screwdriver 00:14:03.48000:14:03.490 go ahead and unbolt the core now and 00:14:06.46000:14:06.470 drill a pilot hole to see if I'm sitting 00:14:08.62000:14:08.630 in about the right place no before you 00:14:12.75900:14:12.769 begin to drill I would probably 00:14:13.81000:14:13.820 recommend putting something behind the 00:14:16.93000:14:16.940 support in order to prevent you from 00:14:18.91000:14:18.920 drilling straight through the radiator 00:14:20.59000:14:20.600 it turns out about the box that this 00:14:22.78000:14:22.790 core comes in is just about the right 00:14:24.06900:14:24.079 size I'm go ahead and leave that there 00:14:26.35000:14:26.360 in order to prevent myself from damaging 00:14:28.38900:14:28.399 the radiator I would highly recommend 00:14:31.06000:14:31.070 that you find something better than just 00:14:32.35000:14:32.360 cardboard to protect the radiator 00:14:33.88000:14:33.890 preferably if you can find like a piece 00:14:35.76900:14:35.779 of plywood that'll work much better the 00:14:37.63000:14:37.640 cardboard just barely protected my 00:14:39.49000:14:39.500 radiator from getting any damage so I 00:14:41.47000:14:41.480 would find something sturdier you want 00:14:43.78000:14:43.790 to start off by drilling a pilot hole 00:14:45.40000:14:45.410 and then checking to make sure the 00:14:46.42000:14:46.430 alignment is good and then you want to 00:14:48.31000:14:48.320 drill a hole just large enough where 00:14:50.53000:14:50.540 that pilot hole is so that way you can 00:14:52.18000:14:52.190 fit the bolt that's gonna hold that 00:14:53.47000:14:53.480 upper mount alright and you can see the 00:14:57.55000:14:57.560 hole I drilled is just about perfect 00:14:59.47000:14:59.480 there everything looks like it is lined 00:15:01.75000:15:01.760 up so I should be able now to go ahead 00:15:04.44900:15:04.459 and fix the oil cooler in place now 00:15:07.81000:15:07.820 before we do permanently fix this on to 00:15:10.15000:15:10.160 the carb and see one does recommend that 00:15:12.46000:15:12.470 we go ahead and fill the core with will 00:15:14.29000:15:14.300 in order to do that we are gonna go 00:15:15.88000:15:15.890 ahead and remove the two plugs that are 00:15:17.76900:15:17.779 sitting on top of the oil cooler and it 00:15:19.63000:15:19.640 looks like they take right around to the 00:15:21.46000:15:21.470 21 millimeter to be able to remove the 00:15:23.50000:15:23.510 beans and then z1 says to install one of 00:15:28.44900:15:28.459 these loose fittings that come in the 00:15:29.86000:15:29.870 package at a time they do say to go 00:15:31.48000:15:31.490 ahead and lubricate these sides with the 00:15:32.94900:15:32.959 o-ring we're just going to dab it in a 00:15:34.87000:15:34.880 bit of the oil here I'll go ahead and 00:15:41.68000:15:41.690 thread that side on 00:15:56.51000:15:56.520 I think what I'm actually going to do is 00:16:01.76000:16:01.770 I'm going to go ahead and secure this to 00:16:03.14000:16:03.150 the car first before I start filling it 00:16:05.33000:16:05.340 that way I don't have to move this core 00:16:07.37000:16:07.380 around when it's already filled with oil 00:16:09.43000:16:09.440 so here's the fresh container of oil 00:16:11.66000:16:11.670 that I'm going to be using and just 00:16:12.50000:16:12.510 going with the same stuff I used in my 00:16:13.94000:16:13.950 previous oil change I think my plan will 00:16:16.34000:16:16.350 be to use the turkey baster to try and 00:16:19.49000:16:19.500 drip some the oil in there because I 00:16:21.14000:16:21.150 can't really position the funnel 00:16:23.03000:16:23.040 correctly to be able to fill that up 00:16:25.10000:16:25.110 plus I think this thing is only going to 00:16:27.02000:16:27.030 take a little less than like a liter of 00:16:28.58000:16:28.590 oil so I think that'll be the plan 00:16:32.76000:16:32.77000:16:44.89000:16:44.900 [Applause] 00:16:46.32000:16:46.330 alright so the core is now filled up to 00:16:48.51900:16:48.529 capacity with oil you guys might be able 00:16:50.68000:16:50.690 to see it in there but I have pulled up 00:16:52.44900:16:52.459 just by the size okay now I'm just go 00:16:55.24000:16:55.250 ahead and thread on the other fitting 00:17:07.89000:17:07.900 also when you guys are installing the 00:17:10.56900:17:10.579 core make sure you keep an eye on this 00:17:12.16000:17:12.170 AC line back here you don't want to have 00:17:14.86000:17:14.870 the core touching that whenever you 00:17:16.48000:17:16.490 install it you don't want this to end up 00:17:18.30900:17:18.319 clinging together because it might make 00:17:19.99000:17:20.000 a lot of noise and it could possibly 00:17:21.13000:17:21.140 damage the AC line so make sure you have 00:17:23.74000:17:23.750 plenty of clearance back here when 00:17:25.29900:17:25.309 you're installing okay now it's time to 00:17:27.64000:17:27.650 start running the stainless steel lines 00:17:29.32000:17:29.330 you will notice that one side is a 00:17:31.72000:17:31.730 little bit longer by about six inches or 00:17:33.79000:17:33.800 so that's going to be important to 00:17:35.29000:17:35.300 remember when you're threading these on 00:17:36.61000:17:36.620 so I'm gonna go ahead and just feed 00:17:38.59000:17:38.600 these behind the center brace here and 00:17:44.23000:17:44.240 then the shorter hose is going to be 00:17:47.02000:17:47.030 attached to this line and the longer 00:17:49.45000:17:49.460 hose is going to be attached to this 00:17:51.04000:17:51.050 side here now before I attach the hoses 00:17:53.89000:17:53.900 I'm gonna go ahead and put a little bit 00:17:55.60000:17:55.610 of thread sealant on these fittings 00:17:57.91000:17:57.920 because I have heard from some people 00:17:59.53000:17:59.540 that sometimes oil can leak especially 00:18:01.75000:18:01.760 when it's getting hot so I'm gonna go 00:18:03.52000:18:03.530 ahead and clean off these threads a 00:18:05.26000:18:05.270 little bit and then I'm going to apply 00:18:07.06000:18:07.070 some thread sealer 00:18:09.95000:18:09.96000:18:21.94000:18:21.950 all right so those are the fittings now 00:18:24.07000:18:24.080 in place and tightened down originally I 00:18:26.04900:18:26.059 ran this line in front of the center 00:18:28.62900:18:28.639 beam here but I was able to unbolt it 00:18:31.29900:18:31.309 and then rerun it behind here so now 00:18:33.39900:18:33.409 both of the lines run behind the center 00:18:34.87000:18:34.880 beam now we need to drop these lines all 00:18:37.50900:18:37.519 the way around and then underneath the 00:18:40.38900:18:40.399 windshield wiper bottle there the only 00:18:42.78900:18:42.799 problem is this piece gets in the way so 00:18:45.15900:18:45.169 we are going to need to trim this up 00:18:46.62900:18:46.639 just have some heavy-duty scissors here 00:18:49.75000:18:49.760 that should do the trick 00:18:50.59000:18:50.600 we're just going to cut it right along 00:18:53.68000:18:53.690 here okay that's that front piece 00:18:59.76900:18:59.779 removed now so we can run the lines in 00:19:01.45000:19:01.460 front of it and then through this space 00:19:02.91900:19:02.929 here with the windshield wherever 00:19:03.85000:19:03.860 reservoir 00:19:06.63000:19:06.64000:19:13.76000:19:13.770 so I've gone ahead and reinstalled this 00:19:16.59000:19:16.600 structural piece here and I've gone 00:19:18.87000:19:18.880 ahead and run the lines over it just to 00:19:21.42000:19:21.430 make sure it they clear and they do pass 00:19:23.40000:19:23.410 snugly just about the windshield wiper 00:19:25.47000:19:25.480 fluid reservoir now the next order of 00:19:27.75000:19:27.760 business is going to be to get these 00:19:28.92000:19:28.930 lines to run between the steering fluid 00:19:31.23000:19:31.240 lines right here so there is a spacer 00:19:33.99000:19:34.000 that z1 provides that's going to replace 00:19:37.89000:19:37.900 the bolt that sits just back there so 00:19:41.07000:19:41.080 I'm gonna need to back these lines out 00:19:42.39000:19:42.400 go ahead and unbolt this line and pull 00:19:44.52000:19:44.530 it forward about an inch so that way we 00:19:46.29000:19:46.300 can run these lines in between here and 00:19:48.93000:19:48.940 then pass through this space into the 00:19:51.00000:19:51.010 oil filter when I'm bolting this bracket 00:20:00.06000:20:00.070 so that you can reposition the steering 00:20:01.80000:20:01.810 fluid lines you want to make sure that 00:20:03.45000:20:03.460 you do not bend the lines by accident 00:20:05.25000:20:05.260 because you could damage them you also 00:20:06.90000:20:06.910 want to make sure when you reposition 00:20:07.92000:20:07.930 them that they're not rubbing against 00:20:09.51000:20:09.520 anything because they could possibly get 00:20:11.07000:20:11.080 damaged 00:20:13.92000:20:13.93000:20:19.73000:20:19.740 so I had to put my camera back on the 00:20:21.84000:20:21.850 charger it's about 30 minutes to an hour 00:20:24.02900:20:24.039 later now but I finally got these lines 00:20:26.52000:20:26.530 running correctly so as you guys saw 00:20:28.95000:20:28.960 they do run of course above the 00:20:31.28900:20:31.299 windshield wiper fluid reservoir here 00:20:34.61000:20:34.620 now here I had to deviate from the 00:20:37.38000:20:37.390 instructions a little bit they tell you 00:20:39.53900:20:39.549 to run the oil clear lines behind the 00:20:41.43000:20:41.440 bracket here once you've put in this 1 00:20:44.13000:20:44.140 inch spacer that you can see back there 00:20:45.96000:20:45.970 however I couldn't I get the oil cooler 00:20:48.24000:20:48.250 lines to bend to be able to actually 00:20:49.91900:20:49.929 make it around this bracket so instead I 00:20:51.96000:20:51.970 just have it passing behind this 00:20:54.29900:20:54.309 steering fluid line here but in the 00:20:56.66900:20:56.679 front of the bracket and then it just 00:20:58.32000:20:58.330 passes through this gap here in the 00:20:59.85000:20:59.860 frame one important thing when you're 00:21:02.07000:21:02.080 routing these guys is try not to bend 00:21:03.99000:21:04.000 them too much while you're trying to 00:21:05.37000:21:05.380 wrap them into place because you don't 00:21:07.74000:21:07.750 want to fray the protective covering on 00:21:10.68000:21:10.690 it so when you're trying to get these 00:21:12.36000:21:12.370 through here just make sure you're not 00:21:14.25000:21:14.260 putting too much stress on the lines and 00:21:16.35000:21:16.360 definitely don't come too much stress on 00:21:18.14900:21:18.159 these steering fluid lines as well 00:21:19.98000:21:19.990 you don't want these to burst and then 00:21:21.45000:21:21.460 end up working a lot fluid everywhere 00:21:23.87000:21:23.880 and then this right here was probably 00:21:27.53900:21:27.549 the hardest part it is very difficult to 00:21:29.70000:21:29.710 try and get these 90 degree joints to be 00:21:32.27900:21:32.289 able to bend to reach the sandwich plate 00:21:34.16900:21:34.179 and to be able to orient the sandwich 00:21:35.70000:21:35.710 plate to get it in the right position 00:21:36.51000:21:36.520 because you don't want it to rub against 00:21:38.52000:21:38.530 the frame back here and you just barely 00:21:40.86000:21:40.870 have enough line to be able to actually 00:21:42.24000:21:42.250 make these connections but I've finally 00:21:44.78900:21:44.799 got them set this these fittings are 00:21:47.34000:21:47.350 almost facing straight down they are 00:21:49.74000:21:49.750 pushed slightly off towards the frame 00:21:51.87000:21:51.880 here but I just managed to get them to 00:21:54.24000:21:54.250 fit and I have just barely left enough 00:21:56.64000:21:56.650 room in here 00:21:57.27000:21:57.280 to be able to squeeze an oil filter up 00:22:00.75000:22:00.760 into the space like so so it is pretty 00:22:06.27000:22:06.280 tight and then I believe this right here 00:22:08.07000:22:08.080 is an AC line that basically sits 00:22:12.24000:22:12.250 against the oil filter which I'm not 00:22:13.83000:22:13.840 entirely sure it's gonna be an issue or 00:22:15.29900:22:15.309 not but I figure there's probably enough 00:22:17.78900:22:17.799 insulation on the back here hopefully 00:22:19.26000:22:19.270 this thing doesn't get too hot and 00:22:20.43000:22:20.440 doesn't mess with the refrigeration but 00:22:22.64900:22:22.659 I ran my oil cooler lines underneath 00:22:24.96000:22:24.970 that but everything is loosely in place 00:22:27.14900:22:27.159 now I'm going 00:22:28.10000:22:28.110 go ahead and apply and my thread sealant 00:22:30.20000:22:30.210 to the threads here in order to prevent 00:22:32.45000:22:32.460 any leaks and then I'll be able to 00:22:34.03900:22:34.049 tighten everything down correctly a 00:22:35.51000:22:35.520 helpful hint when you're trying to 00:22:37.25000:22:37.260 position the sandwich plate you want the 00:22:39.08000:22:39.090 fittings to be facing at about the 7 00:22:41.27000:22:41.280 o'clock position when you're looking at 00:22:42.68000:22:42.690 the sandwich plate from this direction 00:22:43.91000:22:43.920 you don't want them to be pointed 00:22:45.79900:22:45.809 straight down because then they could 00:22:47.03000:22:47.040 bump against the under shroud but you 00:22:48.91900:22:48.929 also don't want them pointing too far 00:22:50.45000:22:50.460 towards the back of the car otherwise 00:22:51.98000:22:51.990 these oil lines could bump against the 00:22:53.96000:22:53.970 crossmember here and that could end up 00:22:55.64000:22:55.650 damaging the lines and spewing oil 00:22:57.14000:22:57.150 everywhere 00:22:57.59000:22:57.600 so you want to make sure that these oil 00:22:59.45000:22:59.460 lines have enough clearance and in order 00:23:02.60000:23:02.610 to address the fitment issue with the 00:23:04.07000:23:04.080 oil filter and the AC line I'm probably 00:23:06.02000:23:06.030 gonna do an oil filter relocation 00:23:08.12000:23:08.130 sometime in the future so that way 00:23:09.91900:23:09.929 they're not bumping up against each 00:23:11.03000:23:11.040 other 00:23:11.47000:23:11.480 now these fittings tightened hook it 00:23:14.33000:23:14.340 down just need to go and tighten these 00:23:16.66900:23:16.679 Center fitting here and while you're 00:23:23.51000:23:23.520 tightening the center bolt and the 00:23:24.89000:23:24.900 sandwich plate I would probably 00:23:25.88000:23:25.890 recommend wedging something between the 00:23:27.56000:23:27.570 oil lines and the crossmember back here 00:23:29.36000:23:29.370 so that way the sandwich plate doesn't 00:23:31.15900:23:31.169 move so your oil lines still have plenty 00:23:32.93000:23:32.940 of clearance now the next step is going 00:23:35.90000:23:35.910 to be to go ahead and fill up the car 00:23:37.54900:23:37.559 with oil and then crank the engine to 00:23:39.32000:23:39.330 make sure that we're not getting any 00:23:40.49000:23:40.500 leaks 00:23:42.18000:23:42.19000:23:49.24000:23:49.250 alright so the engine is now filled up 00:23:51.27900:23:51.289 with oil it is currently sitting 00:23:52.63000:23:52.640 directly between the low and high mark 00:23:54.27900:23:54.289 which is probably not exactly where 00:23:56.47000:23:56.480 you'll want it you'll want to be sitting 00:23:57.76000:23:57.770 right at the high mark because when the 00:23:59.23000:23:59.240 thermostatic plate decides to open up 00:24:01.27000:24:01.280 it's going to drain some of that oil in 00:24:02.86000:24:02.870 the lines and that's going to lower the 00:24:04.84000:24:04.850 oil level so just make sure you fill it 00:24:06.54900:24:06.559 up to the high mark now that the engine 00:24:08.35000:24:08.360 is filled with oil we'll go ahead and 00:24:09.85000:24:09.860 crank the engine and then check for 00:24:11.44000:24:11.45000:24:21.43000:24:21.440 so as you guys saw it looks like we 00:24:23.59000:24:23.600 don't have any leaks so we should be 00:24:25.24000:24:25.250 pretty much good to go only problem is 00:24:26.74000:24:26.750 we haven't tested the fittings that run 00:24:28.87000:24:28.880 to the oil cooler those unfortunately 00:24:30.91000:24:30.920 won't be able to see any oil until the 00:24:32.80000:24:32.810 engine gets hot enough to be able to 00:24:34.63000:24:34.640 open up that thermostatic plate but just 00:24:36.82000:24:36.830 keep an eye on your guys it's a little 00:24:38.14000:24:38.150 level as I said you do want to make sure 00:24:39.79000:24:39.800 you fill it up to the high mark because 00:24:41.47000:24:41.480 you will lose some of that when the oil 00:24:43.03000:24:43.040 cooler lines start to feed oil to the 00:24:45.46000:24:45.470 oil cooler but keep an eye on your oil 00:24:47.50000:24:47.510 level when you guys are moving on also 00:24:49.48000:24:49.490 make sure that anywhere where the lines 00:24:51.07000:24:51.080 touch the body of the car you have some 00:24:52.63000:24:52.640 sort of protective wrapping on it I 00:24:54.07000:24:54.080 ended up is paying an additional $40 for 00:24:56.23000:24:56.240 z1 to have that wrapped for me so my 00:24:58.27000:24:58.280 lines are all protected now they 00:24:59.47000:24:59.480 shouldn't see any fraying or damage from 00:25:01.36000:25:01.370 touching the body but other than that 00:25:03.10000:25:03.110 that's really all there is to installing 00:25:04.57000:25:04.580 the oil cooler just make sure you keep 00:25:06.58000:25:06.590 an eye on the oil level as I said if you 00:25:08.50000:25:08.510 guys have any questions on the install 00:25:09.91000:25:09.920 video leave a comment down below and 00:25:11.32000:25:11.330 I'll make sure to get back to you at 00:25:12.79000:25:12.800 this point all there is left to do is 00:25:14.59000:25:14.600 reinstall all the things that we took 00:25:16.33000:25:16.340 off the car here and then I've got quite 00:25:18.10000:25:18.110 a lot of cleaning to do in the garage 00:25:19.54000:25:19.550 right now but thank you guys for 00:25:21.40000:25:21.410 watching and I will see you all in the 00:25:22.87000:25:22.880 next video later 00:25:25.46000:25:25.47000:26:05.17000:26:05.18000:26:10.44000:26:10.450
