Oil Cooler Flushing: Notes

CAUTION:
  • Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris cannot be removed or the problem becomes even worse.
NOTE:
  • The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed completely when ATX is overhauled or replaced.
  • Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles flow out from the feed pipe side of ATX.
