About Oil Cooler Fan & Housing

High-Quality Oil Cooler Fans & Housings for Efficient Engine Temperature Control

Oil cooler fans and housings play a vital role in maintaining stable oil temperatures, especially in performance engines or vehicles driven in hot climates. The oil cooler fan increases airflow across the cooler core, while the housing directs and contains the airflow for maximum cooling efficiency. Together, they help protect the engine’s lubrication system, reduce heat stress and prevent oil degradation during demanding driving conditions.

Whether you’re restoring a classic model, upgrading a performance build or replacing worn components, a reliable oil cooler fan and housing are essential for long-term engine protection.

What Oil Cooler Fans & Housings Do

These components work together to manage oil temperature by:

  • Increasing airflow over the oil cooler to disperse heat quickly
  • Maintaining consistent oil temperature under load
  • Protecting engine internals from overheating and lubrication breakdown
  • Enhancing overall cooling efficiency during heavy driving or hot weather
  • Supporting track use, towing and high-performance applications

The fan housing (or shroud) ensures directed airflow, preventing turbulence and maximising cooling effectiveness.

Why Oil Cooler Fans & Housings Commonly Fail

Given the intense temperatures and airflow demands, oil cooler fans and their housings can deteriorate over time.

Typical causes of failure include:

  • Heat fatigue leading to cracked housings or weakened plastic
  • Fan motor wear from continuous high-speed operation
  • Electrical issues such as failing relays, damaged connectors or burnt wiring
  • Debris impact damage from stones or road contaminants
  • Corrosion or brittleness caused by heat cycles and oil exposure
  • Vibration stress causing mounting points to loosen or break

When these components fail, airflow efficiency drops, allowing oil temperatures to rise and placing unnecessary strain on the engine.

Why You Should Replace Worn Oil Cooler Fans & Housings

A compromised oil cooler fan or housing reduces cooling performance, increasing the risk of overheating, oil breakdown and engine wear.

Replacing these components with high-quality, precision-engineered alternatives designed to meet original performance standards ensures:

  • Restored airflow and optimal cooling
  • Stable oil temperatures under demanding driving conditions
  • Improved oil longevity and engine durability
  • Reduced risk of overheating or lubrication failure
  • Quieter, more reliable fan operation

Upgrading or replacing these parts is a cost-effective way to protect high-value engine components.
