Exact same as a Chevy Aveo. Thanks so much! Prolly saved me $500+ ! You went the extra mile and gave me torque specs too! That was soo much better than other videos - because it saved me the price of a manual ($30+)
Great video, everything I needed to see to get the job done without all the extra filler you get in most of these videos
Good video, I have been a mechanic for 40+ years. I will subscribe , you do a very good job, I am impressed.
Probably one of the best most complete how to do vid, I've seen on the tube. Thanks for that doing mine now.
I’ll remember to drain out the oil and antifreeze first before staring to work on the car
No . You dont need out them
In these cars with A/C (4:46), like yours and mine, you can just take the cooling fan out and you will have plenty of room to get the manifold + front cat assembly out with no problem. There are 6mm (if I remember right) bolts at the top corners of the fan and the bottom just sits on little hangers. Remember to unplug the fan and then disconnect the fan plug wires (bottom left/driver's side) and the A/C wires (bottom right/passenger side) from the fan housing before lifting. Also, be careful not to damage the radiator.
I watched 3 videos of this yours was the one I needed, you gave me all the info I needed, great job.
I am soo glad my 2018 Cruze does not use this crazy setup. Regular spin on oil filter down below. This thing looks way too similar to the oil cooler/filter housing that Chrysler put on one of their V-6s. That leaks too!
Finally. This is helpful for the new thermostat housing assembly, I lost my gasket and it was bad so I cannot stop the oil cooler from leaking and I cannot find the seal that goes into the gasket anywhere ?? 🤦🏻♂️. The new thermostat assembly is all made into one with the oil cooler return line but it comes with jk new gasket. Stupid and I hate these cars 😂

Might be a stupid question but what sizes and where do I pick up all these o rings? Is there like a big pack I can buy with all different sizes?
Best video on real wanted on this Chevy model common problem
Good video. Had to donit a couple of times myself. Messy and timely
I used oil cooler gasket set Fel Pro PN: ES73215, rockauto, cost 22 bones. Working on 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L

Thank you for being very through about this particular job, it solve my problem on the same car!
Thanks for the video pretty informative! But I am looking for the 1.4 L turbo charged engine which is totally different than this one! Thanks again for the video
Great video on this oil cooler replacement straight to the point.
Thank u for the video need do it for my 1.8 chevy sonic. 62000 miles started leak little
Joseph Schnatterbeck Mine got to 65k when Chevrolet told me I have coolant in my #1 cylinder due to a failed oil cooler. They are recommending replacement of the cooler, hoses, and cylinder head. 5k$ 😭
your step by step with good video really helped me . thank you
Why did you not flush the radiator and clean the overflow tank!
Great vid! I have the same car for me ma and it is giving a small leak at the oil cooler and pan. The dealer told me $2000+...WTF!!!! Then after I tell him no 3 times he comes back and takes over a $1000 off!!!!!!! WTF is going on??? I'm looking at the parts list and they are replacing the cooler, pan and everything for a couple bad gaskets. My question is: Is there any good reason besides that oil cooler being crushed that I would buy a new one?
Really appreciate you taking time to make the video. I’m leaking oil on my 2012. From what I can tell it’s coming from the center / passenger side. Oil all over the belt & even the alternator. I’m assuming it’s going to be the gaskets you replaced here.
Since it is leaking and potentially going to mix with the oil, is there a chance oil is going into coolant hoses (which are not designed for oil) ?
Should you replace them at the same time? If they have had oil in them are you at greater risk of headgasket failure due to hoses rupturing?
Great video!
what? lol no brotha the rubber hoses exploding wont result in head gasket but dont overheat your engine yeah or it could warp the rods
Freaking awesome video. You made it look easy getting those exhaust bolts off!
Well thanks for the amazon link without the part number....
you can see the part number on the bag within the video. GM # 55354071
i like it looks to easy, can ypu post the gaskets parts # where you find the FOOT POUND for each bolt
Where do oyu get all these torques specs? There are not even in haynes manual. Anywhere only in your video I could find them :D
how long did it take you to do this repair overall?
Hi
I just swapped out my thermostat and Intake throttle/thermostat hose since I had a coolant leak. It was coming from thermostat.
So I was pretty careful swapping out the thermostat but the oil cooler pipe did move a bit BUT ssemed to me like it was still in the other pipe. Go to add coolant and it starts dumping out right where the oil cooler pipe is inserted. I pulled the whole oil.cooler.pipe out and the o ring on outside does look a little rough.
Simple as swapping out this o ring and reseating the oil cooler pipe? I don't think there would be another reason for a leak here.
Anyone can help or has done this let me know please. Appreciate it.
u r best magacion
loool
ya those inner seals are in a hot location. i have the sonic with same engine
Great informative video, thanks a lot
Excellent video master. I have 2 big questions
1- the cooler goes insaide the engine or is mounted out side
2- for a job like this price is more than 500 dls.? Please help me out thanks
Armando Sanchez oil cooler is mounted outside of the engine. And I would estimate a dealer would charge over $500 but under $800 for this repair.
The dealer me charging me $2,100. I’d rather do it myself
how to adk for o rings small . by the way great video
Thank you :)
So I wouldn’t have to replace the whole thing? I can just buy the gaskets??! True or false sir
Thanks for the information .
Is this the same procedure for 2013 1.4 liter turbo
great video. I see you are showing (14:45), Adelco [ACD# 55354071, GM# 55354071]. could you kindly tell me where you got those gaskets? Thanks.
im thinking this is my issue i have oil leaking onto my exhaust up front looks like under the filter housing and im getting oil in my coolant reservoir
Oil cooler next to the cat? Oil cooler not hot enough being attached to the engine so they decided to place the cat converter right next to it? What do I know?! 🤷🏻♂
Have you seen those leak antifreeze out of the motor?
Thanks for the video its important to me ♥️♥️😊
would this be a cause of the white sludge?
Does anyone know the part number for the coolent line o-rings?
same i need to figure out the o-ring for the coolant pipe
Why didn't you flush out the radiator coolant before trying to remove the exhaust manifold that way you wouldn't drop all the colors on the floor or why didn't you empty the engine oil
So I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze the 1.8L and I have an oil leak that goes straight onto the exhaust manifold and buns constantly, do you think I am having this exact issue with my vehicle?
Did you fixed it? Im having the same problem.
i had the same problem and i fix it by myself
It has a plastic spring and a small valve inside just where the oil filter is placed ... when it fails, the oil circulates with more pressure thats why it leaks on top of the manifold.. you can get this plastic part online or you can buy the entire cooler.. heres a pic of the part

Sergiiio what’s this part called and is it easy to replace?
@@C4SS865 the name is Engine Oil Cooler filter one way Valve and its pretty easy to replace.. You have to remove the oil from the engine and then remove the oil filter cover and replace the valve with the new one. If your oil is in good condition, you can use it again.(the valve is located in the same place where the oil filter is)
how to know where is the leak from this part .it leaves oil on floor by night cruze eco 13
Perfect video, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video pal! I have a 2012 Chevy Sonic LTZ 1.8 L. Did you have to take the Air Conditioning out to remove heat shield? What tweaks did you make to avoid the extra work with the AC?
No you have to remove the oil stick and then you can remove the heat shield.
Hey i just followed your video and everything went extremely smoothly. Cars burning off all the spilled cooland and oil on the exhaust but now i have a check engine light. Car has some kind of a lock on the obd2 port so i cant scan it, do you have any suggestions?
Did you reconnect the o2 sensor wire?
Great content great intro
Hi , how are you!
Please can you tell me what the hand tool you used
any information about it ?
Thanks
Hello MOLALLA, My 2012 Chevrolet Cruze has a problem where oil and water got mixed in the coolant. Can this problem be associated with Oil Cooler?
Blown head gasket
Yes as the seals go bad engine oil pressure is greater than cooler pressure so oil goes into the coolant rather than coolant in the oil. Same problem with my vauxhall astra GTC 1.6t in the UK engine code a16let
Thanks
Hello, is this the 1.4 turbo?
Nice I got this problem also
what did you use to clean the part?
How did you know what was leaking I have a 13 cruise with the turbo engine and I’m getting oil on the right side of the oil pan I can’t locate exactly where it’s coming from is there any other possibilities
With a cruze there are tons of places it could leak. Tons!. But more than likely this is the video your looking for.
Hey Molalla. Thanks for all the info! Maniacal s10 on UA-cam. Happy holidays!
I have a 2015 Cruze..tool to dealer today. They told me I have a oil cooler leak and it’s going to cost me 1000$ to fix. I was like WTF. They say it’s a 4 hour job. Taking to get a second opinion in a couple days but I’m sure I’ll end up paying the 1000 to get it fixed. Is 1000$ really a normal price?? All I notice is a burning smell and that’s all
My car is at 60k
i fix my car by myself wasnt difficult at all and now its working perfect all.. i only spent $80 for the seals at the dealer
@@sergioo929 you took off oil cooler and replaced seals?
@@IntentionallyLeftBlank. yes
@@IntentionallyLeftBlank. buy them GM because those who sell online are of poor quality
Hey Molalla.
Do these oil coolers go bad or just the seals? My '10 aveo has 127,000 on the 1.6l. I changed all the seals and still had the same leak. 70 inch lbs on the cooler block and 20 ft lbs on the cooler to the motor. The seals is from ebay (maybe my problem?) what do you think please. Please reply. Maniacal s10. Mike. Thanks.
Ps my oil into the coolant was not exstream (milk shake).
i had the same problem and was the seals from ebay.. are better if you get the seals at the dealer
SUBSCRIBED!!
1.4 or 1.8 engine?
I have a 2012 Impala with a oil leak also. It only has 29k. I mean come on? Last GM or American made product I buy. I have extended warranty I have to see if this would be covered?
I`m about to do this job. I was told by a mechanic that he can do this job without removing the exhaust manifold. Just curious if in your opinion this is possible. Cheers
thats impossible
@@sergioo929 yeah aint no way right haha that manifold is literally in the front of all the bolts of the oil cooler
I get told that replacing the cooler in a 1.6 Vauxhall Astra H (looks the same as this car) is 4 hours in total. It looks like it takes you a _lot_ less time.
If you unbolted the exhaust from the bottom of the car instead of from the bottom of the catalytic converter would it have been even quicker to get the the point where the exhaust manifold is down and out of the way with less risk of bolts breaking?
Could you have dropped the heatshield down instead of lifting it up?
Could you have unbolted the catalytic converter bracket only and removed the exhaust manifold just as easily?
Did you have this job done in the end & how long did it a tally take/did you get charged? I have the same on my vauxhall astra GTC 1.6t
@@CLIFTYPOPS no, I didnt get it done, with such a high price everywhere and so little guarantee and because it only happens with the coolant fully topped up and it's fine just a bit low and the cars has many things wrong that people all say is great I'm just taking the car to its inevitable conclusion. It's starting to be obvious the UK is all socialised up with price controls so you can't get anything correct anymore.
Added to that, when I tried to discuss eliminating the head gasket first while doing the timing belt and for them to check if the problem is sorted while the car's apart, a they were adding the prices of work not to be done because it was shared tear down and rebuild, and they were trying to just push up the prices after estimate and not wanting to discuss the feasibility, just taking money as if I'd outright commissioned the work already. I can imagine lots of ways to eliminate various causes if only they were free to optimise the business but it clearly doesn't work like that in the UK. Everyone's under someone else's thumb and some central control is making everything absurd.
With this pandemic lock down I heard that farmers are culling their stock due to lack of demand while the shops round here are short of good meat, stocking a few bits of rotting stuff with odour suppressants and people think there's no stock available and that's why, even though the farmers reportedly have surplus. This is how mad the UK seems to be now.
@@tricky778 sounds like you definitely haven't had much luck. My mechanic is taking a look on Thursday & if it's the oil cooler he's charging me £300 incl VAT
@@CLIFTYPOPS where's that/who?
@@tricky778 my mechanic in Reading. It's called reading service center. Guy who runs it is called Tom i would highly recommend them. He said to me £412 incl oil cooler change, coolant flush and minor service. He's going to check on Thursday though to make sure it 100% is the oil cooler & then he will give me a formal quote. Would you like me to give you info on Thursday when I have the diagnosis/quote? My vauxhall it's a GTC J however not an H like yours. However I can imagine a very similar job.
Anybody else’s Cruze started smoking out of the engine after replacing?
How bout just draining the oil before removing the dipstick lol
This isn’t the turbo is it
yeah soooooo..drain the oil and antifreeze first...lmfao
Looks like a real pain in the ass job. My daughter bought a 15 cruze, hers is leaking. Bought extended warranty, guess what.....warranty doesn't cover it. I could replace this, after a few hours of cussing......I just don't want to.
I hate these cars.
