Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the A/T RX-8's only had one?

 

they do, as far as I know the other one cools the tranny fluid.

and if I may be so bold, your location needs to be corrected to Lass mich, not lass miss that's a good song tho!

 

Thats what I thought, but I was just coming out of the market when I see what looks like a 2nd Oil cooler on my car. As I got down to look at it I was thinking; might be the rock gard when bam! it hits me. WTF? thats a 2nd Oil cooler?! On my A/T 8?

So now what dos this mean? I have to add more Oil to my car when I change the Oil? I'm so lost

You may sir.

 

I might be completely wrong, but I thought that when they upgraded the Auto's for 06 with the 6 port engine, the auto's also recieved the dual oil coolers. Then again, you've been around here for a long time and probably dont have an 06. Whatever, the dual coolers look pretty sweet in my opinion.

 

at, have one cooler. dont know about the 06 and the trans cooler is built into the radiator...

what year is your car??? i know some the the at cars had the second cooler added... have you had the motor replaced???

Right I have a 4 Speed 2004 A/T. I Just got a re-built Engine from Mazda. I just got my car back last Friday.

 

where do you live... and they added the oil cooler when they replaced the motor...

I'm in Las Vegas Nevada. I guess. I only had 1 Oil cooler on the driver side. Now I have one on the passanger side???

 

sounds about right. They prolly added it as a precaution.

 

What about the Oil level. Do I have to add more now?

 

Notice anything else - like a new breathing system for the oil system?

 

I dont follow Nem?

 

when you change the oil yes it will take more oil.... my guess is about a qt...

but i would just put in 3 qts then start it let it run for a minute the check the dipstick...

beers

 

doubt they would upgrade that...

yes,
you live in the place of dead autos... it all is in line now... you should be golden...

beers

 

If you have two now, isn't that better? You don't have to add more oil since the oil in both coolers never get fully flushed out in an oil change.

 

OK thanks for the info Swoope. Where would I look for a new breathing system for the oil system?
Thanks

 

Look at your oil fill cap. See the rubber hose that hooks up just under the cap??

Where does that go to? Does it go straight to the intake accordian tube.....or does it detour somewhere?

 

BTW....bring back the happy chick in the tan dress.

My missus liked her.....

 

party on bitch... i miss her also...

Thank you Gomez. Youve helped me a lot. I'm at work right now. But when I get off I'll look and see. I will also meet with my friend and take some pics with his digi cam.

You guys want to see her? you got it. I'll change it when I get home

 

Did you find the dead fish near the oil cooler?

If not you need a new breather for sure.

 

lol. now your rollin' with 2 oil coolers. haha.

 

Yup

 

btw,
you might find my dyi max oil removal thread in the diy section...
