3.6 oil cooler fail

[ShadowsPapa]

Petroleum Jelly is probably one of the most underappreciated lubricants. It is a great assembly lube for things like coating O-rings, gaskets and other surfaces that come in contact with other petroleum products like motor oils, gear lubes, ATF and even fuel. It is a miscible neutral lubricant with other petroleum based hydrocarbon products.

I got introduced to its many uses when I was in the Army working in aviation. I always have jar of it in my garage and use consistently as previously mentioned.

i used it a lot in automatic transmission rebuilds. And for keeping those pesky valve body check balls in place, it works great.

I have used it on the freedom top gaskets and my Refrigerator door seal .

LOL - a case of one person isn't science. It's results for him.
Wait until you take apart an engine that's had seal sweller stuff in it and the rubber is sticky and swollen. I've had to use solvents to get the seal rubber to come off of stuff.

If it wasn't leaking,,,,,, who cares if solvents are needed to remove the old seals. Might be a PITA for the technician for an hour or so but again, so what??? Life is not always a perfect world. I simply can not apply the "perfect fix" at this time. I can not be down another vehicle nor do I have a good $1-1.5K in addition to the 2K$ the wife' car is abou to drop.

I came here simply looking for answers on the most common oil cooler failure modes and it turned into much more. I am not telling you or anyone else to do anything. Have a good un.

BTW, still seems to have stopped the leak.

I think it’ll workout alright.
