Description

Oil cooler for Mercedes-Benz S-Class W116 – OE quality reproduction

This oil cooler is a high-quality OE-grade reproduction for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W116 and represents a reliable and affordable alternative to the original OEM part. Many of these oil coolers have been unavailable for years, even though they are crucial for proper engine protection. With this reproduction, a durable and technically correct solution is available once again.

Suitable for a wide range of W116 models

The oil cooler is suitable for various six-cylinder and V8 versions of the Mercedes-Benz W116, including:

• 280 S (115–118 kW / 156–160 hp)
• 280 SE/SEL (130–136 kW / 177–185 hp)
• 350 SE/SEL (143–151 kW / 194–205 hp)
• 450 SE/SEL (143–165 kW / 194–224 hp)
• 450 SEL 6.9 (210 kW / 286 hp)

Model years range from 1972 to 1980, depending on the engine and body variant.

Essential for optimal engine oil cooling

The oil cooler ensures that the engine oil remains at the correct temperature, even under heavy load, high ambient temperatures, or prolonged driving. A stable oil temperature is essential for proper lubrication and prevents premature wear of bearings, pistons, and other vital engine parts. This is particularly important for the larger V8 engines of the W116 series.

OE-quality reproduction with perfect fit

This oil cooler is manufactured according to the original factory specifications and carefully selected for dimensions, flow, and finish. Connections and mounting points correspond to the original design, ensuring trouble-free installation without modifications.

Sustainable and reliable alternative to OEM

Although this oil cooler is technically and qualitatively comparable to the OEM part, the price is significantly lower. This makes the part extremely suitable for both routine maintenance and high-quality restoration projects, without compromising reliability or lifespan.

Installation and maintenance

Before installation, it is recommended to check the condition of the oil and cooler hoses and replace them if necessary. Internal contamination or reduced flow in the old oil cooler is often not visible, making replacement during an overhaul or engine maintenance strongly recommended. Installation should preferably be performed by a specialist in classic Mercedes-Benz models.
