• Q: How to replace the oil cooler hose/pipe on 2009 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: During an Oil Cooler Hose/pipe replacement work ensure the proper positioning of the vehicle to prevent personal injury. Start with the vehicle located on a lifting device while the hood goes up and install a catchment container below the vehicle. Remove the upper transaxle oil cooler line at the Radiator before raising the vehicle to disconnect the lower line that connects to the transaxle. First detach the transaxle Fan Shroud cooling lines before using the wrench to remove the transaxle cooler line assembly nut from the transaxle unit to extract the transaxle cooler lines. The installation of new transaxle oil cooler pipe seals needs to be performed. The correct installation requires fitting transaxle oil cooler lines into their vehicle position before attaching the transaxle oil cooler line assembly to the transaxle while following fastener caution procedures. Use a 9 nm (80 lb in) torque to tighten down the transaxle oil cooler line assembly nut with a standard procedure. Insert the lower transaxle oil cooler line into the Radiator before fixing the transaxle oil cooler lines with the Fan Shroud. The upper transaxle oil cooler line installation requires lower vehicle position before connecting it to the Radiator. The dexron(R) vi fluid for automatic transmissions will fail to work properly in this transaxle system while gm t-iv fluid p/n 88900925 should be used as the correct option. Begin fluid addition to the transaxle while running the engine to detect any fluid leakage.
