oil cooler
Lubricant heat exchanger
An oil cooler is a heat exchanger that reduces the temperature of oil in engines, transmissions, or hydraulic systems.
Like a radiator for coolant, it passes oil through fins or tubes where air or liquid carries heat away.
The transmission oil cooler failed and the fluid overheated.
Heavy-duty vehicles and performance engines often have aftermarket oil coolers to handle increased thermal loads.
