Anyone know what size AN fitting oilcooler lines are?

[DTMbimmer07]

My stock ones leaking so I'm just going to replace it with an after market one since i will be boosting the car. So does anyone know what the AN size is that screws into the side of the block?

I dont think it would be an AN style fitting in the block, it should be some sort of metric size fitting

You're going to need to make adapters. The block (and cooler) is not threaded for AN.

well its not technically the block.

Its number three where the oil filter screws onto.

Do you know who sells adapters?

they are metric 22. you need 22mm to x size where x is the an fitting of your choice. I have a pair of -6 and -8's, I can ship from Vancouver, BC, but probably cheaper to find locally at a hose/line company.

Thanks! Found them on Summit but there like 20 bucks a piece any other sites you guys know of that might have them for cheaper?

*Never mind found them on Summit for like 9 bucks each.*

uhm.... howabout a used M20 factory oil cooler? Not something I'd cheap out on.

Rather get a after market oil cooler so i can move it to up behind the kidney grills, so i can mount my intercooler down by where the stock oil cooler sits.

To accommodate an AN fitting oil cooler on my Spec E30 I had a hose shop make up hoses that had the OE 22mm fittings for the oil filter adapter on one end and AN fittings on the other.

That's the oil cooler I'm looking into getting.

Hey Levie

Do you think these would work?

I can't tell. There is no picture so I can't see how those seal. The OE parts use an o-ring at the ring flare and 22mm gland nuts.

Couldn't I get a crush washer type think for it?

This is the Russel version of it but i looked up the Fragola one and its the same design
