Product Details

The Hayden 461 is an engine oil cooler designed to route hot oil through a compact aluminum heat exchanger before it returns to the engine. The cooler measures 12.250 inches long, 10.000 inches high, and 0.750 inches thick, giving it a low-profile footprint for a broad range of truck, SUV, van, and passenger car applications.
