OIL COOLER FLUSHING

Caution
• Power flushing should be performed very carefully when removing the accumulated debris from
the fluid baffle, otherwise the debris cannot be removed or the problem becomes even worse.
Note
• The contaminated cooler line (oil pipes and hoses) and auxiliary cooler (if equipped) must be flushed
completely when ATX is overhauled or replaced.
• Performing back and reverse power flushing two times each does not work because debris or particles
flow out from the feed pipe side of ATX.

Power Flushing
Repair procedure
1. Before power flushing, inspect the hoses/lines and clamps. Power flushing must begin with back flushing
followed by forward flushing to quickly dislodge the restriction. If back flushing is not performed before forward
flushing, the restriction could further reduce the ATF flow through the internal mesh type baffle of the cooler and
flushing will not be effective or possible.
Inspecting oil lines & clamps
1. Be sure to inspect the lines (hoses/pipes) for cuts, crimps (pinched), cracks or any other damage before
reusing them. If any problem exists replace it.
Caution
• Always use new clamps when replacing hoses.
