C6 Corvette Oil Cooler Kit, Genuine GM Z06 OEM Cooling System

C6 Performance offers this GM high efficiency engine oil cooler for the 2005-2013 Corvette C6. Original Equipment as used on the 2008 Corvette Z06. Designed to reduce the oil pressure drop caused with most aftermarket engine oil coolers located in the radiator. This kit will substantially reduce engine oil temperatures for street and race applications. Kit features pre-made lines and fittings to provide minimum pressure drop and will retain the factory oil filter location. Heat exchanger measures 11"x4"x2" and mounts to the front aluminum engine/suspension cradle with the Genuine GM Hardware and Lines. 2005-2007 Model C6 Corvettes require New Radiator Shield/Support and is included at an addtional cost. This is the same system as used on Corvette C6/Z06. NOT the same as the Z51 Equipped Corvettes, this has a larger radiator and is an upgrade to Z51 system.

Install Instructions:
1. Put the car on ramps, drain oil and remove filter.
2. Take off the two 10mm bolts on the blockoff plate just above the oil filter.
3. Route your lines- it's a bit of a struggle, but they just feed up front.
4. Remove intake at throttle body, and remove the air cleaners and assembly to get room to work on the side of the shroud.
5. Make a template for the holes and drill them. I used a drill bit for the 8mm mounting bolts (8mmX1.25X25) with washers. Use a hole saw (about 1 1/4") for the lines to go through the shroud. Mount on the shroud as low as possible, just in front of the radiator. This step is a hassle, so some may wish to buy the Z06 shroud (it should have the holes already in it).
6. Mount cooler using 8mm bolts.
7. Connect the lines to the oil cooler.
8. I had to remove two bolts near the cats/oil filter hookup. They held some heat shielded (alum foil looking stuff). I stuffed the elec lines up out of the way while I mounted the oil cooler block that comes off the engine block, and then replaced them once I had the engine block oil cooler mount on (two 10mm bolts on the cooler mount).
9. About 7 qts to fill it up.
10. Drive till it's warm, and HAMMER it, and enjoy your low oil temps.
11. Basque in smugness that you just saved a bunch of cash with your factory external oil cooler versus a lot of the other solutions that you considered before going this route. The cooler is big, and functions very well.
