[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 29071, member: 82"] There will be places that can clean oil coolers out. I asked about servicing a compressor by a dealer and they said they get the oil cooler acid cleaned. If they do it here, there will be people that do it over there too. They may have ways to get all the particles out. I like the idea of an inline oil filter though. Not sure how you would plumb it in, but its not a bad idea. Worst case, i'd clean EVERYTHING and run petrol throught the oil cooler to try and wash any metal out. Petrol is good as when it dries there is residue and compressed air should be able to pick up any rubish and push i out. As for the particles, any that are left over, the oil filter should catch those. I don't know the oil flow, but usually its pickup, pump, filter, oil cooler then around the engine. So any metal should be collected by the filter. Yes, i know it goes through the oil pump un-filtered which seems silly.... [/QUOTE]
