Hayden 457 Engine Oil Cooler

Hayden 457 Engine Oil Cooler Overview

The Hayden 457 Ultra-Cool engine oil cooler is a performance-rated aluminum cooler built for vehicles that need added oil temperature control. With a 12.250-inch length, 10.000-inch height, and 0.750-inch thickness, it provides a compact cooling solution for a wide range of applications, including Acura MDX, Honda Civic, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 fitments.

Hayden’s Eng Oil Cooler line focuses on practical thermal management for street and light-duty performance use. Part number 457 uses 3/8 FPT connector fittings and is not an OE replacement, so fitment should be verified against the vehicle’s oiling setup before installation.

Detailed Description

The Hayden 457 engine oil cooler is designed to help manage oil temperature in vehicles that see daily driving, towing, or performance use. Its aluminum construction supports efficient heat transfer, while the compact core size makes it suitable for many engine bays where space is limited. This part number is listed across a wide range of applications, including 2007-2021 Acura RDX, 2008-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and 2008-2015 Ford F-150 fitments, along with many other passenger vehicles and light trucks.

Because this is not a direct OE replacement, the Hayden 457 should be matched carefully to the vehicle’s oil filter location, mounting space, and hose routing. The printed foot note also states that a 20mm mount may require PH3950 or an equivalent component.

What It Helps Address

• High engine oil temperatures during heavy driving
• Oil breakdown caused by excess heat
• Heat buildup in towing or stop-and-go conditions
• Reduced oil cooling capacity on performance-oriented vehicles
• Packaging limitations in compact engine compartments

Installation Notes and Fitment Tips

• Fits 2007-2021 Acura RDX, N/A.
• Fits 2008-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, N/A.
• Fits 2008-2015 Ford F-150, N/A.
