HOW TO CLEAN THE COOLING SYSTEM IF THE VEHICLE OIL COOLER EXPLODES

❓ What Happens If an Oil Cooler Bursts in a Vehicle, and How Is the Cooling System Cleaned?

If the oil cooler in a vehicle bursts or fails, it can lead to serious engine problems. The oil cooler helps maintain the engine oil at an optimal temperature. If it cracks or bursts internally, oil and coolant can mix, which poses serious risks to both the engine and the cooling system.

🚨 What Happens When an Oil Cooler Bursts?

1. Oil and coolant mix:

Engine oil can enter the radiator coolant or vice versa.

You may notice an oily film inside the radiator or reservoir.

The engine oil dipstick may show a milky or creamy texture (a sign of coolant mixing with oil).



2. Loss of proper lubrication:

Oil viscosity drops, leading to poor lubrication.

Increased friction may damage engine components.



3. Cooling system blockage:

Oil leaves deposits inside the radiator and hoses.

Water pump and radiator may become clogged.

The engine may overheat.

🧼 How to Clean the Cooling System

After replacing or repairing the oil cooler, the cooling system must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all oil residues. Otherwise, future problems can occur.

1. Replace the Damaged Oil Cooler

Fix or replace the faulty oil cooler first.

2. Drain the Cooling System

Drain all coolant from the radiator and engine block.

Remove the lower radiator hose if needed for complete drainage.


3. Flush the System

Add a radiator flush chemical or cleaner into the system.

Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature, then turn it off and drain the fluid.

Repeat the flush process multiple times using clean water until all oil is removed.


4. Inspect Hoses, Radiator, and Water Pump

Check for any clogs, damage, or residue.

Replace any damaged components.


5. Refill with Fresh Coolant

After the system is clean, refill it with a proper 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water.
