Did you know that your car has an oil radiator?
Yes, not all drivers know about its existence because we are essentially talking about a component integrated into the radiator cooling circuit, mainly used in medium-sized cars.
In fact, only some engines are equipped with additional oil radiators, which is why they are found in luxury and sports cars.
Typically, engine oil is cooled only when it's in the oil pan, located at the bottom of the vehicle, in constant contact with the wind. The cooling method here is identical to that of a radiator.

Oil exchanger: what are the problems?
Nellobroken car heat exchanger symptoms,Oil is one of the main problems, especially on newer diesel cars. If the heat exchanger is damaged by oil, a hazelnut-colored emulsion forms in the radiator expansion tank.
It can happen that the head gasket is burned. In these cases, the oil and coolant mix, which in perfect working order should flow through two separate, sealed circuits.

How is the car heat exchanger formed?
Thecar exchangerIt consists of a series of metal plates that form two separate circuits. If the plates fail to seal, the cause is almost always oil, a highly polluting substance.
Broken car heat exchanger: symptoms
The car exchanger breakageIt can occur for various reasons, starting from those who usually use water instead of the coolant which causes the oxidation of the plates.
Another tip is to avoid oil changes that are too far apart, or even forgetting to do so, or even using unsuitable oils, which means they don't follow the instructions in the manual but instead buy a cheap oil that isn't suitable for their car.
Finally, it is also necessary to monitor the mechanical and thermal stresses that can cause micro cracks.
How to tell if your car's heat exchanger is damaged
To determine whether the exchanger is damaged, a series of checks must be carried out, and it is always advisable to contact your trusted workshop, where experts will verify whether the oil exchanger is broken or not.
How can you check if oil is flowing through the cooling channels?
To check whether the oil passes through the cooling channels to the exchanger under thermal stress, it is necessary to bypass the cooling circuit to the exchanger for a certain period of time, with the flow of coolant from the engine radiator cut off.
What is the most convenient and easiest solution?
We can say that another attempt is to dismantle the water-oil exchanger, wash it and subject it to a vacuum/pressure leak test.
However, if we are looking for the most convenient and easy solution, we can try to bypass the water-oil heat exchanger by means of a repair that will serve to check the engine's operation at much higher temperatures.
There is also another solution, let's say the most complex but the one that allows for better results: flushing the coolant and lubrication circuit and, after having checked for damage, installing a new water-oil heat exchanger.
