Competition Oil Cooler -6AN GVW 19000

The Competition Oil Cooler -6AN GVW 19000 by PERMA-COOL is a precision-engineered thermal management solution designed for high-performance racing and competition vehicles operating at elevated gross vehicle weights. This thin-line cooler is purpose-built for racers and performance enthusiasts who demand reliable fluid temperature control without compromising underbody clearance or installation flexibility. Competition-grade oil coolers are essential when stock cooling systems cannot handle sustained high-load operation, extended track sessions, or severe duty cycles that generate excessive heat.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the Competition Oil Cooler features tube-type core construction proven to maximize heat dissipation while maintaining a compact footprint ideal for tight engine bays. The dual 6 AN male inlet and outlet ports deliver industry-standard thread connections compatible with braided stainless steel hose systems, ensuring leak-free performance under pressure cycling and vibration. Its thin-line profile (0.75 inches) allows mounting in space-constrained applications where traditional thick-core coolers cannot fit, while the 15.5 x 7.5-inch face area provides efficient cooling capacity without excessive weight—critical for maintaining vehicle balance and performance tuning gains.

Competition drivers, track day participants, and drag racing enthusiasts benefit most from this cooler's capacity to manage oil temperatures across demanding duty cycles. The GVW 19000 rating indicates suitability for heavier-duty applications and vehicles operating near maximum load specifications. Installation requires proper AN hose routing, a quality thermostat sandwich adapter, and consideration of airflow direction relative to vehicle cooling fans. Verify 6 AN port compatibility and ensure adequate clearance before ordering; this cooler excels in front-mount or side-mount configurations where air velocity across the core remains consistent.
