Does 2001 sonata 6 cylinder have a engine oil cooler?

Really need more information...It sounds like they didn't give you a complete gasket kit...You will have to remove and re-install other components just to be able to see the crank shaft....You need the front and rear oil seal for the crank..,Oil pan gasket..,exhaust will have to be removed also...etc.......NEED MORE INFO..

HI. If your car is equipped with an engine oil cooler that uses coolant to operate, this would be a good place to start (This is a big issue in some GM vehicals). Sometimes an engine oil cooler can act like a one way valve. When the engine is not running but is still hot the cooling system will have about 15 pounds of residual pressure forcing coolant into the engine. This problem can be repaired by replacing the engine oil cooler. Once the oil cooler has been replaced you must replace the engine oil and filter and recheck for the conditions once more. There are three remaining causes for coolant in the motor oil, and they all require you to dismantle the engine. This can be tricky because the repair overlaps and it is difficult to tell which one is causing the problem. For example: A mechanic has told you that the cylinder head is cracked, or warped, and as they start disassembling, the tech discovers that it is the intake manifold gasket that has failed. It's up to the repair shop to tell the customer that the cost of the repair will be less. Or the opposite can happen, example: A repair shop has discovered that your power plant has a blown head gasket, once the disassembling is complete, they inform you the head gasket is ok, and the cylinder has been pressure checked and is ok. This only leaves the engine block as the failure and must be replaced to repair the problem, and that can be very costly. Always check the intake gasket first on V6, V8 and V10 engines. Then the cylinder head gaskets, cylinder heads and finally the engine block.


NOTE: Most common occurrence in this situation will be a failed head gasket set

IT ONLY HAS I TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER IF THERE IS ANOTHER SET OF LINES GOING TO THE RADIATOR THEN IT ALSO HAS AN ENGINE OIL COOLER

Hi the 2.0ltr is a 4 cylinder and the 2.6ltr is a six

4.3L engines are notorious for blowing intake manifold gaskets, not head gakets. Usually the rear coolant ports on each head.

ALMOST every car I've worked on has a drain plug on the "oil pan" ..big,.. usually stamped pan on bottom of motor to release used oil .. 1.drain oil 2.reinstall plug
3.remove and replace filter 4. refill with oil.. (my rule of thumb is 4 qts. for 4 cylinder 5 qts' for 6-8 cylinder) you failed to mention 4 or 6 cylinder (your car came with both)

Usually blown head gasket, could be a crack in the cylinder head or block.

This should help.

For starters if your going to do 1 do all. The locations are from left to right when standing in front of the car. 1, 3, 5
2, 4, 6

wires are 3

Hi. the head gaskets on this engine should be replaced asap. they are worn and cracked. this will permit the mixture you have stated in your post.
