Petes93cutlass Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I have a 1993 Cutlass Convertible and currently replacing the engine. My 1993 engine has the oil filter coolant lines going to it. Now, the 1994 engine I noticed doesn't have this feature. The oil filter just screws onto the block. Should I leave it that way or should I install my 1993 oil filter cooler onto the 94 block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 i'd install it. stabilizes the temperature between the coolant and the oil to keep them closer to each other at all times. the oil tends to be at least a little bit hotter than the coolant.

Galaxie500XL Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Transmission cooler...YES. Oil cooler? No, my '95 didn't come with one...but I am considering it. Cooler? Anyone install trans cooler in the DOHC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyd Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'd transfer it. I did the same '95 -> '92 swap you are and I didn't transfer the cooler, now I'm going back and redoing it. The DOHC seems to thin out its oil very quickly, and then you get valvetrain clatter until you change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
