Engine Oil Cooler on a 2008 (tow prep package)

[TPG]

I have been trying to find out exactly where the engine Oil Cooler is located on a 2008 Sienna. Any help or pictures would be appreciated. I just purchased a 2008 Sienna that I was told could tow up to 3500 lbs. but would like to confirm now that I have learned more about the vehicle.

I can see the Power Steering cooler, the Transmission Cooler but I am just not sure what I am looking for when it comes to the Engine Oil Cooler.

Thanks.

not sure if it helps, but are relevant threads at siennachat:

reply #29 of the latter thread has photos that might show part of the oil cooler, but I'm not sure.


apparently 2008 siennas in the US mostly did not come with the engine oil cooler, while some earlier years had them more often.

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately it appears you have to be logged in at Siennachat in order to see the some of the pictures in the threads. That is problematic when the admins there A) do not approve you, or B) you have been waiting for a reply for a few months.

Again, thanks for the reply.

Okay, I copied one of the photos from that reply #29:



It purportedly shows the engine of a 2008 with an oil cooler. I don't know which feature indicates the oil cooler -- maybe the partially-hidden silvery round thing that appears in the photo just above the left edge of the yellow sticker on the coolant?
