Oil Cooler Install and First Service Done by Edmunds.com 04.19.09

I wouldn't want braided SS lines touching aluminum lines. The SS braided line can wear the aluminum lines. Best to isolate the lines with a rubber sleeve.

lmao

Thats why I moved the power steering to the other side. Didnt make sense to keep it there with all the room on the other side. Not to mention it can be easily upgradeable with a longer core if I ever need to..

Thanks for the tip. I've never worked with braided lines and was rather challenging to just to get them where I wanted them. Adding rubber sleeves should be easy after removing the inner fender.
