95 LT1..do I have an oil cooler???

Jes called Jason Cromer to order a new IAC valve and he asked if my car has an oil cooler...he said it makes a difference. I have no clue, does it lol??


Where do I need to look to see if I have one? A picture would be perfect if someone has one...

Your oil filter will hang down lower. It goes between the filter and the block. There will also be two lines running from it to the radiator and water pump.

My 95 had them and it made it a pain to work on things like the pan gasket.

So if I jes looked between the oil filter and the block and saw nothing, with no lines running that that area that I could see(looking from behind the driver side front tire) it probably dont have one?

Your car would have come with RPO code KC4.

ok so from looking at the diagram, the hose that comes off the driver side, bottom part of the radiator would go to the two tubes.(Hose 11 in the diagram) My hose goes directly from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump....so looks like I dont have one???

The cooler hoses are smaller than the lower engine hose,better check again.

One hose would go from the bottome LH side of the radiator, the other hose would go from the water pump. If you take a look underneath, it should be real easy to tell. You can also look for the RPO code, like I said.

right, the only small cooler hose looking hoses are on the passenger side at the bottom, which I think are the auto tranny lines that run to the cooler in the front.

on the driver side, there are no small hoses, only large hoses that run directly to the waterpump. So looks like no oil cooler for me!
