Yeah, agreed. The only place that the oil can mix with coolant is in the oil cooler unless it's a failed HG. For aftermarket EGR cooler bulletproof diesel is the go-to but maybe sinister is ok too. As for oil coolers, I've heard nothing but bad things about aftermarket and OEM with the extra passageway (over the original) is the way to go.

Hey Guys,


Has anyone heard of the IPR Oil Cooler/High Flow Coolant filter setup? I did some research and it seems like a great idea. The external Oil cooler is mounted outside of the Valley of the engine bay and installed along your Frame rail or any other place you have room. They also now use the 6.7 Oil cooler for better performance and reliability.

Also, they sell a separate Coolant Filter kit where they claim to filter all the coolant before it goes into the Oil cooler.

Check out this video that does a step-by-step installation. It seems straightforward or at least much easier than an Bulletproof Oiler Kit install.

No experience with the IPR oil cooler but the uh cough EGR stuff I have from them is very well made.

The IPR HPOP screen is the one to get while the oil cooler is out. https://www.iprresearch.com/Ford-6.0...er-Screen.html
