Built to Handle Real-World Demands, Not Just Daily Driving

Ford trucks and SUVs are designed with a purpose, to haul, tow, and work harder than average vehicles. Whether you own a 2013 Ford F-150 for job site runs, navigate city streets in a Lincoln Navigator, or operate a fleet of Ford Transit vans, the demands on your powertrain are significant. These vehicles endure extreme conditions, carry heavier payloads, and often run for extended hours without rest.

What many drivers don’t realize is that the most serious threat to long-term engine performance isn’t mileage or age, it’s uncontrolled heat. As your engine generates power, it also creates substantial thermal energy. If that heat isn’t managed correctly, it can degrade oil quality, warp seals, and compromise internal tolerances.

That’s why the Genuine Ford DL3Z-7A095-B Oil Cooler Assembly is so important. Engineered specifically for Ford’s most demanding platforms, this OEM part helps ensure proper temperature regulation to preserve your vehicle’s integrity under real-world stress.

Engineered Specifically for Ford Applications

This isn’t a generic aftermarket part. The DL3Z-7A095-B Oil Cooler Assembly is precision-designed by Ford engineers to fit and function with exact specifications. It’s manufactured to match the cooling system requirements of high-performance trucks and SUVs, which differ greatly from those of passenger sedans.

Confirmed OEM fitment for the DL3Z-7A095-B includes:

• 2011–2014 Ford Expedition

• 2011–2014 Ford F-150

• 2011–2014 Lincoln Navigator

• 2015–2019 Ford Transit (with applicable engines)

This part’s job is to protect the engine's vital oil flow by transferring heat away from the oil before it cycles back through the system. This extends oil life, protects internal components, and ensures that engine performance doesn’t drop off under sustained loads or prolonged idling.

If you own or service one of these vehicles, choosing the right cooling component isn’t optional, it’s essential.

How Oil Coolers Protect Your Engine’s Most Critical Systems

Oil isn’t just a lubricant, it’s a heat absorber. And when it’s overheated, it loses its ability to properly lubricate. That can lead to increased friction, component wear, and in worst cases, complete engine failure. The oil cooler’s purpose is to intercept that heat and remove it before the oil re-enters the engine.

The DL3Z-7A095-B achieves this by integrating seamlessly into Ford’s existing oil flow architecture. It sits between the oil filter and the engine block, using a network of passageways and fins to transfer thermal energy out of the oil and into the coolant. This maintains oil within Ford’s operating temperature specifications, which is vital for maintaining proper pressure and flow.

Even small temperature deviations can lead to major issues, from stuck lifters to blown seals, especially when the engine is under towing or off-road conditions.

Heavy-Duty Design for Heavy-Duty Vehicles

The Ford DL3Z-7A095-B isn’t a repurposed sedan part. Its design reflects the elevated performance demands of Ford’s truck and van lineup. Ford’s engineers tested this assembly under extreme operating conditions: high load, high ambient temperature, and long idle durations.

Its internal construction is built to handle:

• Higher oil volumes (typical in larger displacement engines)

• Rapid temperature fluctuations (e.g., towing uphill then idling)

• Long-term exposure to harsh under-hood environments

Aftermarket units often use weaker metals or reduce internal passage size to save costs, but that directly affects heat exchange performance. The DL3Z-7A095-B retains full OEM flow rates and heat transfer capacity, which translates to better long-term engine reliability.

Whether your truck is working hard every day or used for weekend towing, having an oil cooler built to these standards is an investment in the life of your engine.

Why OEM Quality Is Worth It

There are plenty of aftermarket oil cooler assemblies on the market, and many claim to be compatible with Ford vehicles. But “compatible” doesn’t mean “identical.” When you rely on your Ford to perform, for your business, your family, or your daily needs, there’s no room for parts that only come close.

Ford OEM parts like the DL3Z-7A095-B Oil Cooler Assembly:

• Match factory tolerances to the micrometer

• Use approved metals and coatings to resist corrosion

• Are tested under the same conditions as the original assembly

• Preserve your warranty eligibility

• Come with technical support if needed

Using aftermarket parts introduces unknowns, especially when it comes to thermal systems. That can mean reduced flow, delayed warm-up times, or even blocked oil passages. With OEM, you know exactly what you're getting: factory quality, backed by real-world testing.

You’re not just buying a part, you’re maintaining your investment.

Key Signs Your Oil Cooler Needs Replacement

If your Ford truck or SUV is showing any of the following symptoms, your oil cooler may be failing:

• Unexplained oil temperature spikes

• Oil leaking around the cooler assembly

• Overheating despite a functioning radiator

• Oil and coolant mixing (visible in oil cap or coolant reservoir)

• Loss of engine performance under load

Once these issues start, failure can escalate quickly. Don’t wait until you’re stranded or facing a major repair, especially when the fix is as simple and cost-effective as replacing the oil cooler assembly with a factory-certified part.

Easy Installation, Long-Term Benefits

One of the advantages of OEM parts like the DL3Z-7A095-B is that they’re designed to bolt on with no modification. Whether you're handling the replacement yourself or working with a service tech, the fit and installation process is straightforward.

This assembly comes ready to integrate into your factory cooling and oil system, with no need for adapters, extra seals, or grinding. That means you spend less time in the shop and more time keeping your Ford on the road.

If you're working with a high-mileage engine or performing a larger service like timing chain replacement, this is the perfect time to address your oil cooling system.

Maintain Confidence in Your Ford with the Right Part

Your Ford was built to last, and it will, as long as you give it the right support. Choosing the DL3Z-7A095-B Oil Cooler Assembly isn’t just a smart parts decision, it’s a commitment to long-term performance. With proper oil temperature regulation, your engine stays cleaner, runs stronger, and delivers the reliability Ford is known for.

Don’t risk a critical failure for the sake of a few dollars saved. Trust the part Ford engineered for your engine.
