Hey guys,

Has anyone had their oil coolers sonic cleanned?

I have 3 FC oil coolers that have been cleanned by a shop recommened by mazdatrix. All were cleanned at different times and stored to be used later on my end.

I shook one side to side long wise and you can hear something shake inside. I tested this with my other 2 clean oil coolers and it did the same things. Is this normal? or are they really not clean? I can hear the noise on both sides.

Well I went ahead and installed one but what do you guys think?

sounds like a check valve to keep oil pressure up at startup

Took out the thermostat and is in good condition.



Is weird, is like it moves inside the fin/tube area left to right when shook.



Nothing came out when I shook it and took the thermostat out.
