Ok sir I have to update my prior review of this video. I just got done an hour ago doing the new oil cooler and the conversion to a regular oil filter. My 2007 Mazda CX7 leaked so much oil before I thought it was my timing cover gasket AND the oil filter gasket. I leaked so much tree hugging snowflakes used to follow me to see where my ground polluting ass lived. I am absolutely delighted to say I have ZERO oil leaks now. Drove it 40 miles and not a drop. I guess that oil cooler can leak bad enough to disperse oil everywhere under the engine. I was a little more cautious than you and for 26 bucks I replaced the Oil pressure sending unit while it was apart. This is by far the most clearly instructed and useful video I have ever watched on KZread. WELL DONE SIR! (I did teflon tape the oil pressure lol )

Thank you for this video. I am going to do this upgrade on my wife's CX-7 ASAP. Tired of the pesky leaks.

UK here. Been researching this job as the original FoMoCo-labeled cooler on my Japan-built '06 Mazda3 2l is starting to weep at the downward-facing coolant connection due to corrosion of the steel though it's still oil-tight. The manuals give the torque for the four filter block to engine block bolts as 20-30 Nm / 14.8-22.1 ft-lb. There's a note on applying silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch/sender threads making sure the first 1-2mm is kept clear "to prevent a possible operation malfunction". Torque is given as 12-18 Nm / 9-13 ft·lbf.

Awesome video.

Thanks for the video and the clear part information. Liked and subscribed. I replaced the gasket between the cooler and housing about a year and a half ago using a Fel-pro gasket. It's leaking again already. I assume it's the design of the updated cooler gasket that works better. Is it possible to use the updated cooler with the old housing and still have it not leak? Trying to find the cheapest way to reliably stop the leak. I assume changing the housing and another gasket won't last.

Hey thanks for watching, liking and subscribing! And honestly I've seen mixed opinions on using Teflon tape. If you want to use some sealant, I've read using high temp thread sealant and making sure to give it enough time to cure. But from my experience, I've removed the oil pressure twice on different occasions and never had a leak from there.

Just completed this conversion/upgrade on my 2007 Mazda CX 7 using OEM upgrade kit from Japan (as listed in o.p.'s links on Ebay). It took me 5 hours!! fussing with the upper coolant hose (clamp was in an unfortunate position) and installation of the upgraded unit was much harder than expected due to lower radiator hose clearance and access angle on the upper right attachment bolt (not to mention working upside down on minimal clearance using jackstands). My 1st recommendation is to use car ramps instead of jacking w/ stands to give you a higher clearance; you'll need it. Installation tips: Install top left attachment bolt 1st (gasket tangs hold bolt) then bottom right to square up the assembly. For top right bolt, I had to put the socket on first and then partially insert the 3" extension to get the bolt turning (the top coolant hose nipple partially blocks clear socket w/ extension access). Tighten by hand until flush. Install last bolt (bottom left) easy access. I used 18 ft.lbs. torque setting for these 4 bolts; same access challenges as mentioned above (for the top right bolt you have to muscle it on and squeeze your torque wrench into place; best to use a 6 point socket vs 12 point for better/stronger fit and less chance of rounding of the bolt head). Next I installed the oil pressure censor -- this was the biggest b*tch of the project besides the upper right bolt and upper coolant hose. Someone should find out what metric size this is because a crescent wrench is too thick to work efficiently in this tight space (it's whatever metric is a little bigger than 7/8 inch) a spanner of the correct size would be narrow enough to more easily loosen and then tighten to install the oil pressure censor. After that I hooked up the lower coolant hose; piece of cake. Screwed on filter, filled oil, topped off coolant, ran engine for a while checking for leaks; none so far. Thanks JG Garage for your video and tips! I felt confident trying this DIY project after watching your video several times and preparing for as many contingencies as I could think of. (FYI, I ended up reusing the OEM coolant hose clamps)

Hey there. The oil cooler gasket that normally fails is between the oil cooler and the oil filter housing. Only oil passes through this gasket. Coolant runs inside through the oil cooler and is a closed system and shouldn't mix with the oil there. I haven't heard/seen where the oil cooler actually breaks and causes internal coolant leaking into the oil. Usually coolant mixed with oil is a head gasket issue. Have you overheated?

Why do you use 5w-40 instead of the factory 5w-30

@jggarage1807

2 жыл бұрын

When I first got the car and researched which oil to get, I came across a lot of forum threads suggesting and recommending Shell's Rotella T6. Since then, I've only used T6 during oil changes however, people have claimed that the newer T6 version has changed and may not be as good as before. I don't know anything about this to prove it or not. It's just something I've came across and read in forums or FB Mazdaspeed pages. I do want to mention also that when going through forums and pages, I do see a lot of people saying to just get a good quality synthetic 5w-30 and all should be good. Now to answer your question about why 5w-40, I will just copy/paste from a thread that basically sums up the answer: "1) Mazda released a TSB to use 5W-40 oil to mitigate the smoking in idle issues. The thicker oil supposedly will not seep out of the seals as much as -30 oil. 2) Years of data and used oil analysis on the platform showed that the T6 is very good for these engines. Part of the reason is since it is diesel-specific and thus designed for direct-injection, it resists fuel dilution much better." Now I don't know the credibility of the person who wrote that but that's basically what people have consistently said online and what I have read.

I don't think your gasket failed - they way you installed the oil pressure sensor was wrong - you need to put joint compound on it. That is probably where your oil is leaking from.

@jggarage1807

Жыл бұрын

It is indeed the gasket that failed because the leak is coming from above the oil pressure sensor. It is leaking from the mating joint of the oil cooler above and the oil filter housing below so that only indicated the oil cooler gasket. Also, I never touched or removed the oil pressure sensor during the first repair when I just replaced the gasket with the original oil cooler. Before this video, I did wonder if I needed to put any kind of sealant on the oil pressure sensor threads and from what I read online and group pages, I learned it was not necessary and I saw someone use Teflon tape but I wasn't comfortable using that. Ever since this video was made to today, the whole repair hasn't leaked, neither from the oil cooler nor from the oil pressure sensor.

@@jggarage1807 sorry i forgot i commented on a couple pages i figured it out a day or two after this (oil filter was put on wayyyy too tight i basically had two half's by the time i got it off im guessing it built pressure and blew the gasket) i replaced it and its working fine now.

I did this mod a few years back cause mine was leaking

Turn it until it’s on as tight as it will go

@@Davo996 Thanks, I was wondering if that's the best way. Getting a torque-wrench in there seems practically impossible.

It is likely Mazda doesn't make their own clamps and gets them from a supplier since they are just clamps. The clamps I bought work just fine and didn't seem to be super thin or flimsy. If you'll be doing this repair, feel free to use the original clamps or any clamps of your choosing. Thanks for watching!

Using plyers to break the coolant hoses loose is safer 🥸
