- Cools Engine Oil: The fundamental role is to significantly lower the temperature of the engine oil as it circulates through the system.
- Removes Excess Heat: It operates by transferring surplus heat generated during engine operation from the oil to either the ambient air or the engine's coolant via a dedicated heat exchanger or smaller radiator.
- Maintains Optimal Temperature: By strictly controlling the oil temperature, it ensures the oil retains its designed viscosity and lubricating properties. This safeguard is crucial for protecting internal engine components from damage caused by thermal stress or inadequate lubrication.
- Ensures Proper Operation: The oil flows through the cooler where it is actively cooled before being recirculated, preventing the oil from degrading due to excessive heat.
- Integrated System: Although its function is separate and specific to oil cooling, it works in conjunction with the engine's main cooling system to achieve overall thermal stability.
The Ford LC3Z-6A642-C OE Engine Oil Cooler is an essential component specifically engineered for the 6.7L Powerstroke engine models from 2020-2025. This original equipment (OE) part is critical for maintaining the health and longevity of your engine. Its core purpose is to actively cool the engine oil to remove excess heat, which directly contributes to protecting vital engine parts and ensuring proper lubrication. By effectively managing oil temperature, this cooler plays a pivotal role in extending the life and reliability of your high-performance Powerstroke engine.
