How To Replace Subaru Oil Cooler Gaskets! No More Leaks! Subaru Engine EJ255

[@vwap9006]

i find it ironic that ive watched your videos for everything that goes wrong with my car. We are a family, commited to this car for life.

[@1MotoXRacer1]

I always jack it right on that crossmember, it's where you're supposed to do it from and it's super convenient.

[@dominicmorones8314]

Amazingly detailed video. This is why I love youtube. Saved a bunch of money and had a lot of fun wrenching on my Legacy GT 😎

[@06wrxdude]

Glad I could help!

[@davidfranklinhannant6883]

Doing this while doing my oil pan on my 06 WRX. I will say, just drain your coolant using the peacock valve on the radiator beforehand. Draining from the oil cooler lines just makes a big nasty mess. I can't tell you how many times I got coolant in my eye, and in my mouth from the lines bleeding onto the header shields and running their length. The rest of this is spot on.

[@06wrxdude]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll be taking your advice next time when I have to drain the coolant 👍

[@ryandrews9612]

yea buddy! looking forward to that valve cover gaskets vid!

[@Jaystz]

Great vid! tackled this right after doing my cylinder 4 cooling mod and clutch. Should've used the funnel on the top coolant reservoir instead of your radiator.

[@wakeupandbord]

Buy a 6 or 12 pack of OEM filters and get a fumoto drain valve. Save time and money, I can't trust knockoff filters Love your channel, keep it up.

[@ajentsong6151]

so useful and very nice visuals...best diy mechanic video!

[@TVVortexGaming]

very different very EJ20. the 2.0 has just the long bolt and gasket on top of the cooler and done

[@tttacocattt]

Appreciate all the details you provide! Thanks much!

[@sneakyfoz3692]

Just did the Valve cover gaskets on my 04 Forester XT, mine were only seeping a bit no drips reckon yours might be the same. Its a bit of a pain to do but it’s done and dusted. If you do it, worth getting some new half moons with the gasket kit they can go a bit brittle with age.

[@SpencerHogg]

Nice work on this one dude

[@trevsara1]

Such a great video. Helped me so much thank you!

[@06wrxdude]

Glad it helped!

[@colebraman597]

Thanks for the video and nice work 👌did you have to burp your coolant system after or was a top up sufficient?

[@06wrxdude]

I got lucky and just a top off was all I needed.

[@esko23q]

Bleeding is from the other one not from the Rad.

[@julianaguilar1305]

I have a 2015 Subaru Forester. Oil is inside the radiator can you give me some guidance on how to fix.

[@cryvengeance]

having troubles finding a suitable gasket for my 04 cross sport forester, its an ej205 so would a wrx gasket work?

[@06wrxdude]

I’m sorry I have no knowledge on your type of motor. I’d check to see if it has an oem oil cooler? Was yours leaking?

[@spencergreen5934]

I having mu cooler leaking on start up did this work for you?

[@gabriellecanavan7219]

Have you thought about putting the getadom tune cylinder 4 cooling mod on your car?

[@06wrxdude]

Yes that’s on the list for sure!

[@gabriellecanavan7219]

Hell yeah! I just put one in my 06 my car sounds happier!

[@Mike-bj4yt]

are these 4x orings part numbers suitable for ej257 or just ej255?

[@AnimalGhostz]

Bought my outback from a Lexus dealership and they did the valve gaskets and oil cooler after I noticed leakage there and now the temp gauge fluctuates. Do you think it’s from them not knowing how bleed a boxer engine or maybe something else??

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

Are those gaskets the same as comes on the new Oil Filter?? Can an Oil Filter Gasket substitute for the orange Gasket? Just wondering because it’s an emergency. 🆘 ❤🖖🏼

[@jjsally7963]

I have a 2005 wrx and my oil cooler hoses/lines are leaking because they are staring to get brittle. My question is are there 3 hoses/lines? And are they all 3 the same? Would you mind helping me out with the parts please?

[@edwardcoyle6014]

great vid, now to sort my own :D

[@06wrxdude]

Go for it!

[@jamesjonsy]

Double like

[@raycadbury]

Awesome video 👍

[@06wrxdude]

Thank you 👍

[@lonesoldier3921]

Did you lose a good amount of oil when you noticed the problem

[@06wrxdude]

Nothing crazy just some residue making it onto the oil filter. Maybe a couple drops of oil over night

[@johnnyperez1358]

What engine does your wrx have I have an ej257 looking for these gaskets

[@06wrxdude]

My WRX engine is a EJ25. However it’s the similar 2.5 liter motor that comes in the sti’s. I’m sure the gaskets are universal…

[@PeterHernandez-lg2eh]

70 retired lineman diyer. 2006 sti with spt add ons. 2 leaks .power steering pump leak and oil leak at the same time. Rebuild kit for pump ordered with the 4 o rings for the oil cooler. Hope this fixes all.

[@haydensease3425]

Do you just use a chiltons manual for your torque specs? Or do you just google it? Lol great video bro!

[@kaosbboi]

Great success 😂

[@Divas1001]

Help me I have 2007 Subaru Legacy Limited. I have Aux input but its not working.In panel there is no any selection for Aux. When I pulled aux input unit from center console I can see wires there.

[@ernestoch2827]

Let me get it right (@ 3:02) , you cranked up your engine without oil on it right? That's very bad for your engine...

[@06wrxdude]

Yes no oil in engine is bad… The start up was from a previous time. No harm done here

[@chest089]

What is the model of your torque wrench?

[@06wrxdude]

It’s a craftsman model 913919. I use this one which is a lot easier to use amzn.to/3GHYBsM

[@riprawc]

Thank you

[@jorgereyes6049]

can i put a 2008 oil cooler on a 2004 Subaru Baja ?

[@06wrxdude]

Sorry man I’m useless. I have no clue!
