oil cooler nut under oil filter....

[sc2dave]

Anyone know what the size is for a socket to use on the nut under the oil filter on a 95 5sfe?

[Oldcar95]

The socket size for the relief valve nut is 30mm. The hold down nut for the oil coooler is 10 mm. It's pretty easy to change out the the gasket and the O-ring for the oil cooler. Just be careful with old pieces of the old gasket/O-ring from falling in the oil passage hole. Clean the up the bottom of the oil cooler and the engine. The torque values are 58 ft lbs for the relief valve. And the hold down nut is 69 in lbs or 5.7 ft lbs.

the relief valve isn't the center screw,is it?

[Oldcar95]

Yes, it is the relief valve.

I finally changed it out today.I saw where the big o-ring went,but i could'nt tell where the smaller one goes.

The small gasket goes on the oil cooler for the relief valve. It will mount on the same side as the o-ring, this side mounts to the engine. You should removed the old gasket and replaced it with the new one. I had a small leak that would happen once in a while. Both the o-ring and gasket were hard and cracked.

I didn't see any small o-ring in there,just the big one with a missing piece

Looking at a drawing will help. Go to http://www.camrystuff.com and select Gen 3 repair manuals. This site has the manuals which can be down loaded. Down load the 5S-FE engine manual. It's size is 18mb. When you have this manual, go to page 286 (EG1-286), which is titled 5S-FE Engine Lubrication System. Here are the instructions for removal and installation of the oil cooler. Look at the drawings in this section for where the gasket goes. Take a closer look at the base of your oil cooler that mounts on the engine. I changed my gasket and O-ring about two months ago. And it's in the oil cooler base. How this helps you out.
