• Q: How to replace the engine oil cooler on 2007 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: The Engine Oil Cooler replacement process starts with draining cooling system fluid and engine oil before taking out the Oil Filter. First detach the outlet hose from its position on both the thermostat bypass pipe and Oil Cooler before repositioning the hose clamp on the bypass pipe. After detaching the Oil Cooler pipe bolt at the engine mount strut/air conditioning (AC) compressor bracket remove the Oil Cooler pipe along with hoses and then proceed to detach the Oil Cooler connector. Repaint the inlet hose clamp at the Oil Cooler and detach the hose from both the fitting as well as the Oil Cooler hose fitting. Before installing the Oil Cooler hose fitting you must apply thread sealant to the threads if needed before torquing it to 19 n.m (14 lb ft). Position and install the inlet hose by clamping it to the fitting of the Oil Cooler. Position the inlet hose clamp around the Oil Cooler before attaching the coolers to their installation point. Attach the Oil Cooler connector first and tighten it to 50 n.m (37 lb. Ft). Then install the Oil Cooler pipe with hoses and bolt at the engine mount strut/ac compressor bracket and tighten it to 10 n.m (89 lb. In). Reposition the outlet hose clamp at the thermostat bypass pipe while reattaching both the Oil Cooler outlet hose and the thermostat bypass pipe. You need to place a brand-new Oil Filter then add engine oil and finally complete the coolant fill-up.
