Every listing includes a full manufacturer cross-reference<br \/>\ntable so you can confirm fitment by part number before you order.<\/p>\n<h2>818.048 Oil Cooler, Engine Oil \u2014 function and selection<\/h2>\n<p>An oil cooler is a dedicated heat exchanger that reduces engine oil or transmission fluid temperature by routing it through an air-cooled finned core or a coolant-jacketed plate-type core before it returns to lubricate bearings, seals, and gear surfaces. Keeping oil within its target operating temperature range protects the oil&#8217;s viscosity and its additive package.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs You Need a Replacement<\/h2>\n<p>A coolant-to-oil type cooler that fails internally mixes fluids, producing a milky emulsion visible on the dipstick or filler cap \u2014 a clear sign that demands immediate investigation. A clogged or collapsed air-cooled core raises oil temperatures gradually, accelerating wear across bearings and seals.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand &amp; Manufacturing Authority<\/h2>\n<p>This oil cooler is manufactured by <strong>AHE<\/strong>, a recognised supplier<br \/>\nto the automotive aftermarket. The part number <strong>818.048<\/strong> identifies this specific<br \/>\nunit in the manufacturer&#8217;s own catalog. It is supplied new \u2014 not remanufactured \u2014 and is backed by our<br \/>\nwarranty policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Material &amp; Construction<\/h2>\n<p>Built from brazed aluminium plate-type core for integrated engine designs, or a separate aluminium finned matrix for external transmission coolers; seals and crush washers at all union points. This construction is chosen to match or exceed the OE<br \/>\nspecification it replaces under the same load, temperature, and service conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Fitment Confidence<\/h2>\n<p>Year-make-model filters alone can miss mid-year production changes that affect fitment. The safest<br \/>\nmethod is to match the part number stamped on your existing oil cooler against the<br \/>\ncross-reference table below. If you can&#8217;t locate your existing part number, send your vehicle VIN<br \/>\nthrough our contact page and we&#8217;ll confirm before you order.<\/p>\n<h2>Product Specifications<\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;width:35%;\">Part Number (SKU)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-family:monospace;\">818.048<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Part Type<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Oil Cooler<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Brand<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">AHE<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background:#f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Condition<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">New<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\">Category<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\">Cooling System &gt; Oil Cooler<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:32px 0;\">\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gccparts.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/gccparts.demo_-1.png\"\n       alt=\"818.048 Oil Cooler, Engine Oil\"\n       style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\"\n       loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Cross-Reference Compatibility Table<\/h2>\n<p>Match your existing part number against this table before ordering.

A year-make-model filter is a<br \/>\nstarting point, but the same vehicle model can use different component specifications depending on<br \/>\ntrim level, engine variant, and production date. The cross-reference table above is built from<br \/>\nthe manufacturer&#8217;s own part-number data, which means the relationship between this part and the<br \/>\nvehicle application is confirmed at the component level rather than inferred from model data.<\/p>\n<p>When you receive the new oil cooler, compare it physically against<br \/>\nthe old part before installation \u2014 check overall dimensions, mounting hole positions, and connector<br \/>\norientation. A direct visual comparison catches any discrepancy before time is invested in<br \/>\ndisassembly. If anything doesn&#8217;t match despite the part number confirming correctly, contact us<br \/>\nbefore installing, since we can usually resolve fitment questions the same day.<\/p>\n<p>We source our <strong>AHE<\/strong> parts directly through authorised supply<br \/>\nchannels to ensure you receive the genuine part that the cross-reference table confirms. Aftermarket<br \/>\nquality varies enormously by brand; listing the actual manufacturer \u2014 rather than a generic<br \/>\n&#8220;compatible with&#8221; label \u2014 is how we give you the information needed to make a confident buying<br \/>\ndecision. The <a href=\"https:\/\/cgautopartsshopusa.com\/?page_id=3062\">About Us<\/a> page explains our approach to sourcing and<br \/>\npart-number verification in more detail.<\/p>\n<h2>After Installation \u2014 What to Check<\/h2>\n<p>Once the new oil cooler is fitted and torqued to specification,<br \/>\na brief test drive under controlled conditions is the best way to confirm the repair is successful<br \/>\nbefore returning the vehicle to normal use. Listen for any new noises from the affected area at low<br \/>\nspeed over a rough surface, and confirm that the system behaviour feels correct. For suspension and<br \/>\nsteering components, a wheel alignment check immediately after installation is strongly recommended,<br \/>\nsince even a correctly fitted new part can require alignment correction compared to the worn part<br \/>\nit replaced. For braking components, a proper bed-in procedure \u2014 a series of graduated stops from<br \/>\nroad speed \u2014 transfers an even layer of friction material and settles the new components before<br \/>\nmaximum braking loads are applied.<\/p>\n<p>Keep the installation date and part number noted in your service records. This information is<br \/>\nrequired if a warranty claim becomes necessary, and it makes future parts sourcing straightforward<br \/>\nsince you&#8217;ll have a confirmed part number on file. Our warranty<br \/>\npolicy page specifies the documentation needed to support a claim.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Will this part fit my vehicle?<\/h3>\n<p>Match the part number on your existing oil cooler against the<br \/>\ncross-reference table on this page.
