  Cooler Line, Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Hose, Tube Oil Cooler

• Description:

  This genuine Ford cooler line is the automatic transmission oil cooler hose assembly that routes transmission fluid between the transaxle and the external cooler so the fluid sheds heat before returning. Ford catalogs it under base 7R081 as an Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Hose Assembly, also listed as a Cooler Line, and it supersedes the earlier AE5Z-7R081-A. It fits 2010 through 2012 Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln MKZ with the 2.5L 4-cylinder and 3.0L V6 gas engines. The pre-formed hose and tube assembly is built to withstand hot pressurized transmission fluid and to route cleanly around the subframe and radiator connections. Over time the rubber sections harden and crack, the crimped fittings weep, or the tube corrodes, and drivers notice red or brown fluid leaking onto the ground, low transmission fluid, a burning smell, or in severe cases slipping and overheating from lost cooling and fluid. Because the transmission relies on this circuit to stay within temperature, a failed cooler line can lead to accelerated wear if driven with low or overheated fluid. Replacing the line with the correct genuine assembly restores a sealed, properly routed cooling path. Installation involves raising the vehicle, catching residual fluid, disconnecting the quick-connect or threaded fittings at the transaxle and cooler, and seating the new assembly into its retainers; refill and check the transmission fluid to the correct level and inspect for leaks after a warm-up cycle. Confirm your engine application before ordering, as the 2.5L and 3.0L share this assembly here.
