ITEM	DESCRIPTION
1	Engine coolant outlet
2	Engine coolant inlet from cylinder block
3	Outlet - Engine oil
4	Inlet - Engine oil

The oil cooler is located on the side of the cylinder block, below the turbocharger. The oil cooler is sealed to the cylinder block with a metal gasket and secured with seven bolts.

There are three ports on the underside of the oil cooler:

An engine oil inlet and an engine oil outlet
An engine coolant inlet.

There is one port on the other side of the oil cooler:

An engine coolant outlet.

The oil cooler is an aluminum housing comprising louvered fins and plates. The plates allow a cross-flow of oil and engine coolant through the cooler but keep the two fluids separate. The plates are immersed in engine coolant from the variable coolant pump. The variable coolant pump provides cooling of the oil by the temperature differential between the oil and the engine coolant.

An anti-drain valve is located in the cylinder block and prevents the oil draining from the oil cooler when the engine is not running.
