An oil cooler is a fairly simple component, which means that it rarely fails. However, when doing any major engine work, it should be replaced. There are many reasons why a diesel engine can fail. And when it does, the oil cooler should be swapped out as well.

The problem is that proper engine break-in requires more than simply running the engine.
According to the testing featured in Black Series Lab Episode 2, extended idle time during break-in may actually work against one of the most important processes occurring inside a freshly rebuilt engine: piston ring seating.
