Take it to a detail shop and they can steam wash your eng.

nono, i pulled the oil cooler out, where the oil cooler sits in it has about a 1/2-1 gallon of oil in there. i'm rebuilding the cooler and i want it sitting in new oil when i put the new cooler back in.

I just drained mine out two days ago. I used a dixie cup to scoop, and a 2 quart container to dump it into. Then some rag to mop up the rest. Its a little less than two quarts in there.

thenubsterman...Thanks buddy. Were you doing an EGR delete and decided to overhaul the oil cooler or were you having issues with the cooler? How hard of a job was it to pull the cooler and overhaul it? Do you think there will be any issues with firing her back up?
