Folks,
An oil cooler isn't under pressure, if there is a thermostat like in Toyotas
it's in the output line from the pump. The out line from the cooler just pumps
the oil back into the sump (usually anyway). Transmission oil coolers work the
same way, so a towing type one should be OJ but i've never used one to know for
sure.
