00:00:00.400 what's up guys review by here and today 00:00:04.42000:00:04.430 we're going to do a review on an oil 00:00:09.03900:00:09.049 cooler kit that is it's a universal oil 00:00:11.94900:00:11.959 cooler kit but I do plan on using it on 00:00:13.81000:00:13.820 my mark for Curtis Supra now I know some 00:00:19.84000:00:19.850 people they really prefer name-brand and 00:00:22.51000:00:22.520 this this is a name-brand but I assure 00:00:24.85000:00:24.860 you this is an actually very good 00:00:27.88000:00:27.890 quality kit I've been using it on my 00:00:31.56000:00:31.570 240sx for about almost four years now 00:00:36.04000:00:36.050 and it's been a great kit it's there's 00:00:40.54000:00:40.550 the lines are excellent the cooler 00:00:43.09000:00:43.100 itself is excellent and the sandwich 00:00:45.67000:00:45.680 plate is great and pretty much if you do 00:00:51.37000:00:51.380 want to order one of these I'll put the 00:00:53.68000:00:53.690 link up on end of the screen in the 00:00:56.92000:00:56.930 description and you'll be able to check 00:00:59.41000:00:59.420 it out for yourself it's affordable and 00:01:01.51000:01:01.520 it works 00:01:02.77000:01:02.780 I mean I'll stand by that it's really 00:01:06.45900:01:06.469 it's a really simple kit to install and 00:01:08.37900:01:08.389 it's effective so what I'm going to do 00:01:12.24900:01:12.259 is I guess I'm going to show you guys 00:01:15.34000:01:15.350 what's in this box basically get this in 00:01:18.66900:01:18.679 one big box and it comes as a sort of 00:01:21.96900:01:21.979 like a big kit but this is mainly the 00:01:27.02900:01:27.039 radiator if you will for the oil and 00:01:31.83000:01:31.840 it's a it's this one it's pretty large 00:01:35.01900:01:35.029 but the I'm telling you the quality on 00:01:39.03900:01:39.049 the on on these kits the price and in 00:01:43.92900:01:43.939 the quality that you get is excellent 00:01:45.83900:01:45.849 and I mean it's just a clean nicely done 00:01:51.06900:01:51.079 oil cooler and they just work that's 00:01:54.12900:01:54.139 just what matters you can and when 00:01:56.70900:01:56.719 you're actually running your car and you 00:01:58.77900:01:58.789 have both lines you know just flowing 00:02:02.13900:02:02.149 oil even after a hard day of driving you 00:02:06.30900:02:06.319 can actually feel on one line how warm 00:02:09.03900:02:09.049 the oil is coming in and then you can 00:02:11.58900:02:11.599 feel on the other line 00:02:12.69000:02:12.700 cool the oil is so I think that's it 00:02:15.21000:02:15.220 really goes to show that that this is a 00:02:18.57000:02:18.580 good kit for for what you're paying for 00:02:20.80900:02:20.819 so I mean it's pretty straightforward 00:02:24.39000:02:24.400 you know you just got your oil cooler 00:02:27.24000:02:27.250 you got these little rubber caps that 00:02:30.83900:02:30.849 come on top to keep any debris out and I 00:02:35.46000:02:35.470 mean it's pretty you can't really see it 00:02:37.89000:02:37.900 very well but it is clean in there and 00:02:40.35000:02:40.360 there's no there's no slag or any pieces 00:02:43.32000:02:43.330 of metal that I can see but what I do 00:02:45.72000:02:45.730 recommend even if it does look clean 00:02:47.72900:02:47.739 what I recommend is either finding or 00:02:53.10000:02:53.110 buying just a cheap little quart of oil 00:02:55.68000:02:55.690 pouring it in there 00:02:56.69900:02:56.709 and sort of flushing out the system or 00:02:59.40000:02:59.410 the the cooler itself with just some 00:03:02.69900:03:02.709 cheap oil just to just to make sure you 00:03:04.74000:03:04.750 know just to keep that if there is any 00:03:07.22900:03:07.239 metal shavings in there just to flush it 00:03:09.53900:03:09.549 out make sure your you're good to go and 00:03:13.67000:03:13.680 they're just there's really useful 00:03:15.78000:03:15.790 especially if if you go to the track or 00:03:19.71000:03:19.720 if you if you like to go on spirited 00:03:22.25900:03:22.269 drives and it's and it gets hot where 00:03:24.44900:03:24.459 you live these really do help your 00:03:29.84900:03:29.859 engine just maintain its performance and 00:03:32.30900:03:32.319 maintain in my opinion the longevity of 00:03:35.78900:03:35.799 your engine they're pretty it doesn't 00:03:38.64000:03:38.650 come with any mounting hardware but I 00:03:40.31900:03:40.329 mean it's pretty simple if you can find 00:03:43.19000:03:43.200 some sort of bracket and have the proper 00:03:47.72900:03:47.739 sized holes what I did is I went to my 00:03:50.91000:03:50.920 local local hardware shop and I bought 00:03:53.55000:03:53.560 some metal brackets I drilled the same 00:03:56.12900:03:56.139 holes I bought a couple screws and I 00:03:58.71000:03:58.720 just mounted it onto the 240s frame and 00:04:02.06900:04:02.079 mounts behind the bumper and I mean 00:04:04.94900:04:04.959 looks pretty good and it you know it's 00:04:07.58900:04:07.599 one of those functional things that's 00:04:09.18000:04:09.190 just for the money it's it's worth every 00:04:12.12000:04:12.130 penny to me next you got the sandwich 00:04:16.25900:04:16.269 plate now in this box 00:04:19.68000:04:19.690 it doesn't include this many fittings 00:04:22.65000:04:22.660 this is just how many fittings I have 00:04:26.09000:04:26.100 pretty much if you order this kit you'll 00:04:30.12000:04:30.130 get two fittings like this but you can 00:04:35.10000:04:35.110 actually contact the company that's 00:04:39.21000:04:39.220 selling them and email them the model of 00:04:42.80900:04:42.819 your car and they'll actually look for 00:04:45.80900:04:45.819 the proper size and then they usually 00:04:47.85000:04:47.860 always include two so but now I went 00:04:52.83000:04:52.840 ahead and emailed them and sent them 00:04:55.70000:04:55.710 them the year the make the model the 00:05:00.74900:05:00.759 engine and pretty much they selected 00:05:03.93000:05:03.940 them for me and the sandwich plate it's 00:05:07.74000:05:07.750 it's good quality it's a it's it's I 00:05:12.14900:05:12.159 don't know what grade aluminum it is 00:05:14.18900:05:14.199 it's not where it's not really heavy but 00:05:17.21900:05:17.229 I mean it doesn't really need to be 00:05:19.02000:05:19.030 because it's a it's just a really simple 00:05:22.61000:05:22.620 piece it's got a nice little ring on 00:05:25.26000:05:25.270 there and what I noticed with the 240 00:05:30.02000:05:30.030 what happens is on this side this side 00:05:36.24000:05:36.250 with the with these ports this sides the 00:05:40.68000:05:40.690 side the oil first initially comes 00:05:43.58900:05:43.599 through and if you're running an oil 00:05:46.20000:05:46.210 pressure sensor on this side you'll 00:05:49.74000:05:49.750 actually read a low oil pressure because 00:05:52.68000:05:52.690 after it goes through the cooler it's 00:05:55.92000:05:55.930 like through this line to the cooler and 00:05:57.51000:05:57.520 comes out to cool or back to here by the 00:06:01.08000:06:01.090 time it gets to this side the pressure 00:06:03.14900:06:03.159 is lower so what I would recommend is 00:06:05.85000:06:05.860 not putting any oil pressure sensors in 00:06:09.02900:06:09.039 this side but this side gets the normal 00:06:14.14900:06:14.159 pressure that your factory engine would 00:06:17.37000:06:17.380 have but I mean I've never had any oil 00:06:19.80000:06:19.810 starvation or any issues running this 00:06:22.52900:06:22.539 kit on a 240 and that's why I feel you 00:06:25.40900:06:25.419 know secure about about this whole kit 00:06:28.62000:06:28.630 it's been working and 00:06:30.73900:06:30.749 that's all I care about is if it works 00:06:32.92900:06:32.939 and it doesn't break on me I'm happy so 00:06:36.85900:06:36.869 it's pretty simple pretty much take off 00:06:39.64900:06:39.659 your oil filter put this on screw this 00:06:44.26900:06:44.279 through this on like through the actual 00:06:46.75900:06:46.769 sandwich on deer where your factory oil 00:06:50.05900:06:50.069 filter would typically screw on and then 00:06:53.38900:06:53.399 you just screw your oil filter over this 00:06:55.06900:06:55.079 and what also one more recommendation I 00:06:57.88900:06:57.899 would say is um when you install this I 00:07:02.05900:07:02.069 would what I personally did was I 00:07:05.29900:07:05.309 actually after I flushed it I did fill 00:07:08.65900:07:08.669 it with the desired oil that I run in my 00:07:11.05900:07:11.069 engine so it doesn't have like a big air 00:07:14.80900:07:14.819 bubble that that go that's running in 00:07:16.85000:07:16.860 there before it starts so just a little 00:07:19.79000:07:19.800 tip I figured I'd share with you that I 00:07:23.23900:07:23.249 personally did it works and it's all 00:07:27.46900:07:27.479 matters right so I'm probably not going 00:07:30.70900:07:30.719 to take these out of the whole packaging 00:07:32.44900:07:32.459 you can pretty much see what they are 00:07:37.50900:07:37.519 they're pretty much just steel braided 00:07:39.61900:07:39.629 lines one one line on one side I mean 00:07:43.66900:07:43.679 you have about a 90 degree Bend and then 00:07:49.54900:07:49.559 on the other side you just have just 00:07:53.77900:07:53.789 straight you know fittings and pretty 00:07:58.81900:07:58.829 much these these these things are really 00:08:02.32900:08:02.339 strong I mean they they are are 00:08:05.74900:08:05.759 seriously 50 I'll pull this back a 00:08:15.67900:08:15.689 little bit you can see just the if it 00:08:20.20900:08:20.219 focuses 00:08:25.70900:08:25.719 but um pretty much you can see that I 00:08:29.03900:08:29.049 mean everything's nicely the wines it's 00:08:33.08900:08:33.099 got a crimped fitting on the steel 00:08:35.55000:08:35.560 braided hose it's really thick it's 00:08:38.27900:08:38.289 durable it's just it's durable you know 00:08:42.77900:08:42.789 there's there's not really much that can 00:08:45.03000:08:45.040 go wrong with this kit because it's just 00:08:48.78000:08:48.790 straightforward pretty much you just 00:08:51.07900:08:51.089 thread these onto there or opposite 00:08:54.17900:08:54.189 thread the straight end that's what I'm 00:08:55.76900:08:55.779 planning on doing is threading the 00:08:57.86900:08:57.879 straight end in and what I usually do is 00:09:02.55000:09:02.560 I usually put thread thread a thread 00:09:06.17000:09:06.180 sealing tape or plumber's tape on on 00:09:10.01900:09:10.029 basically all the threads of anything 00:09:12.11900:09:12.129 that's going to be threaded on that has 00:09:13.49900:09:13.509 fluid or anything that's going to be 00:09:16.59000:09:16.600 flowing through it and it just ensures 00:09:18.72000:09:18.730 that it's going to be reliable so I've 00:09:22.13900:09:22.149 already done that two fittings here that 00:09:24.68900:09:24.699 thread into this plate itself and a 00:09:28.24900:09:28.259 really nice kit it's simple and it's 00:09:31.47000:09:31.480 it's effective especially if you have 00:09:34.01900:09:34.029 any heat soak issues if you're driving 00:09:39.21000:09:39.220 your car on the track often and you have 00:09:40.98000:09:40.990 you know your cars running hot I I mean 00:09:45.24000:09:45.250 I'm not going to say for sure it is 00:09:47.22000:09:47.230 going to solve the problem but I I will 00:09:49.59000:09:49.600 say it should help the issue for sure so 00:09:56.26900:09:56.279 it's it's it's very much with the 120 00:10:02.24900:10:02.259 130 dollars so that's pretty much it 00:10:06.21000:10:06.220 today guys one last thing I wanted to 00:10:10.24900:10:10.259 give a shout out to it's a web page 00:10:15.48000:10:15.490 called DIY Auto for the win I'm going to 00:10:19.23000:10:19.240 include the link in the description and 00:10:22.30900:10:22.319 it's it's a it's a site that's just 00:10:25.35000:10:25.360 starting the guys doing a really good 00:10:29.00900:10:29.019 job and it seems like a like a
