Does my radiator have an engine oil cooler?

[jared999]

I need a new radiator and want to confirm if my radiator has the oil cooler option before I order the wrong part. I opened my hood and took some photos of the driver side.
I circled a line that I think may be an oil cooler line.

I found this thread, but did not want to necro the thing and there are no photos of the lines in question.

Oil cooler Lines

I am having a oil drip on my 2009 Yukon . My buddy said oli cooler line, I called up my GM dealer service was told 2.7 hrs to replace the lines plus the lines, total $650.00 I went to a private service center He said 3 hours plus the lines. while I waited he the parts person some numbers, maybe...

those lines are for the power steering cooler which is a separate piece, not part of the radiator, it does look like it might have the option for it on the radiator end cap but the fittings are not there and if there is no plug in it then it's likely contaminated anyway. you can add a oil cooler if so desired with a adapter plate, 2 lines and a radiator

*also if the radiator does have a oil cooler it doesn't matter, that part just isn't used if you do not have the lines for it.

also kind of weird that a ltz doesn't have a oil cooler...

Based on the last pic it doesn’t appear you have the extra lines going to the driver side end tank. Those would be for the oil cooler.

Would it be beneficial for me to add the oem oil cooler? Maybe I can just go find the parts.

I don't tow, but I do live in TX and it gets hot as hell here.

couldn't hurt that's for sure.
you need the adapter plate that goes above the oil filter (the plate has fittings for the oil cooler lines)
the 2 oil cooler lines
radiator with oil cooler option.
best places to shop are probably amazon/rock auto
