Please read carefully and understand what I am currently selling. This is a very cool concept for anyone that needs a replacement on a OM617 oil cooler and the corresponding lines.

This Mercedes-Benz Oil Cooler is specifically designed for the OM617 engine. It has undergone rigorous testing to ensure 100% leak-free performance and heavy-duty durability. The installation process is straightforward and requires barely any modifications. This modified/customized oil cooler comes with all the necessary mounting hardware and fits perfectly into the engine's oil cooling system, including the oil filter housing.

Selling a customized/modified OM617 oil cooler, 8 JIC lines and oil filter housing fittings. The kit includes everything to convert your old oil cooler and cooler lines to hydraulic lines with 8 JIC fittings.

The kit includes

-Modified OM617 oil cooler with 8AN 90 degree fitting - part number on the oil cooler is MB 126 18 00065 (I also have 1 MB 123 180 02 65 B 7) - If you need a custom one done, please contact me.

-8JIC fittings that go into the oil filter housing - will come with thread sealant/lock so it creates a nice seal - and they are super nice!

-8JIC hydraulic hose cut to length and includes the appropriate fittings to make a nice seal - no thread sealant/lock needed.

-Comes with installation manual/instructions in the package

The price does not include a $60 core charge for an oil cooler. Once the oil cooler is received it will be inspected. If I can machine it, you will get your $60 back. Please message me if you have any questions or wonderings, happy to help.

The hose is a hydraulic hose (R16-06 3/8) and crimped to size and accurate fit. The fittings are of high quality and I am very impressed and amazed by its quality! I was super impressed by how easy my fittings for the oil filter housing fit and are secured! WOW

There are some extras that I can sell/include, this will be an extra charge.

- New oil filter (Mahle or Wix) that includes the o rings that go with the oil filter housing. - $25

- If you need any other Mercedes Benz oil cooler to be machined, please message me. You are looking at $100 plus shipping to and from!

- If you need a specific length hydraulic hose from your oil cooler to your oil filter housing, please message me. It's about $10 a foot extra - that includes my time!

- If you have any other customized OM617 or MB oil cooler questions or ideas, please message me.

A couple of recent builds include a rat rod where the oil cooler lines were a lot longer due to the oil filter housing being further away from the oil filter housing, OM617 engines being put in different cars making the oil cooler being a little bit further away. Also, can partly sell certain features of this build, most people just like the whole kit.

I have included a bunch of pictures of the actual kit that will be sold, the kit that can include a bunch of specialty tools that can be included for a core charge.

I included pictures of it installed on my own W126 model, 1982 300sd. I have had about 500 miles of use on it and have made some slight modifications to the kit. I switched from 8AN to 8 JIC and loved the switch. No more leaks!

One big observable thing you will see is that I have switched to a different thread sealant/lock for both the fittings for the oil filter housing and the oil cooler. It is now blue in the kits that I sell vs white you see in the pictures.

The main reason for this project was that I personally dreaded doing the oil cooler lines. I had a leak, the original parts were nowhere to be found. My local hose rebuilder messed up a couple of oil cooler lines. What I found out, and what I absolutely love about this product is the ease of access and installation. Once the lines were removed, the installation took me less than an hour for the complete installation. That included the fittings in the oil filter housing, installation of oil cooler, and the hoses. After that, let it sit, enjoy your hard work and drive away the next day.
