i got into accident and the oil cooler started leaking but i fixed it . is it okay to keep like that or its dangerous and need to buy new one?

[GolfCoyote]

Why risk it? I’d fix it.

[GabesSlowM4]

These are very expensive cars and motors, I agree with the user above why risk it, whats a few hundred bucks compared to thousands.

[Dawgz]

a new one is not that much, and an upgraded aftermarket like CSF or Mishimoto is like 600 USD.... takes like 30 mins to install even on ramps at home.


OEM Part # 17118095293

Hoping this is a troll. Either buy a CSF one for $600 or buy a used one for even less from someone who bought a CSF / Mishi one. You drive a damn near $100k car, why are you being cheap?

[TopJimmy]

Bro…duh…new one right away.

What if you start leaking and don’t realize? That’ll cost you an engine plus an oil cooler. Your $500 problem could turn into a $25K nightmare.

What he said. To prevent your the next oil cooler from getting damaged your gonna need that skid plate

[Info@mad-us.com]

Buy a new one you could lose your motor. Lucky you didn't already to be honest.

[TopJimmy]

I got the Mishi skid plate, it installed really easily, and fits perfect. My floor jack fits the lift point cutout, which is same size as on the stock plastic cover. If I ever damage my oil cooler I’d buy it from Mishi too. They make good stuff for a fair price.

the accident costed me 30k and and i dont want to spend more if its unnecessary also i live in iraq so such parts not available but if its necessary will order CSF found its cheaper then Mishimoto and the oem or csf not recommended?

[TopJimmy]

All basically same. Get what you can that’s affordable.

Csf is better than what you have now, just get a new one.
If it leaks and ruins your engine then you'll be spending anther 40k on the engine.

You guys don’t have insurance in Iraq?

[miso]

yes insurance not available in iraq

We offer both brands, go with CSF. no reason to pay more

[miso]

I wouldn't, just fill up whatever oil you lose, or wait until an oil change and do everything at once.
