Key Features

  • Cools 31% or better

  • Includes AMSOIL EAO17 oil filter
About This Product

Improves heat reduction 31% or more on 2001-2007 and 2011-2019 6.6L Duramax engines. The older the truck, the greater the gain. Ready for pressure or temperature sensor. Includes all necessary hardware and oil filter.

Fitment Note
Due to Enhanced EGR cooling, this kit does not fit late 2007.5-10 LMM Duramax engines with factory EGR Cooler.
Specifications

At the heart of the new system is GM's 2020 Duramax L5P oil cooler. This cooler rejects heat 22% better at the factory-rated 450 horsepower when tested against the earlier 2017-2019 unit. The difference between the two coolers is even more apparent at higher engine speed and load. 3300 RPM, 600 HP tests show a 31% greater heat reduction over the stock 2017-2019 oil cooler. The higher the horsepower, the greater the improvement.

Why It's Better

Enhanced Cooling for Extended Towing

At the factory-rated 450 horsepower output, the upgraded 19-plate cooler rejects heat 22% better compared to earlier 2017-2019 OE 14-plate oil coolers.

Tuned to 600 horsepower with a higher rpm speed and load, the difference between the two coolers is even larger, with 31% greater heat rejection.

2017-19 vs 20-23 Oil Cooler Heat Rejection

Heat rejection gains are even more impressive on older Duramax engines, which use 10 or 11-plate factory coolers from 01-07 or 11-16 models.

These additional cooling plates and improved oil flow increase the available surface area utilized for heat transfer, shedding more BTUs of heat while maintaining proper oil pressure.

Reviews

Item was packaged very well!

"Item was packaged very well! Fits like a glove and I could not be happier with the communication and the buyers experience from a professional company. Must have upgrad for the LB7 in my opinion if you are already refreshing the engine or experiencing any issues."

Callahan S. (5/5)

Banks oil cooler

"It was an awesome and straight to the point install I’m very happy with this purchase will definitely buy more banks products soon!"

Juan L. (5/5)

Item works delivery not so much

"It wasn’t until I called customer service that I was informed there was a 3-5 day lead time before the item even shipped. It took a week and 2 days by the time I received my package. It would have been nice if that lead time was disclosed on the website. As well not being able to contact customer service without having to set up a call back appointment. Oil cooler was exactly what I needed. Fit and worked well."

Derek M. (5/5)

Well put together kit

"My LML needed rebuild because of a broken crankshaft and bearing failure. This is the prefect replacement oil cooler. I highly recommend it."

Paul S. (5/5)

Happy with purchase

"Very tight fit but if you follow installation video on this very simple and I have had it installed on my 06. Lbz for about 3mouths now and it’s doing great"

Jeramiah P. (5/5)

Diesel products

"I'm very happy with all the products I have purchased from you"

Jack G. (5/5)

Worth the price and time! Quality oarts

"The instructions helped greatly with the process needed for 4x4 truck! I put it on my compound turbo 2015 LML. Obviously it’s bigger compared to the stock one on the truck to begin with. But the average time to replace was accurate and I was in the driveway not on a lift. Once I got the old one removed it was much easier to go back together. Temps are great and it’s definitely an upgrade compared to the original."

Max M. (5/5)

Expected nothing less than perfection from Banks and it delivers!

"It's everything I expected and more! Thank you Mr Banks for giving us performance and reliability we can depend on!"

Allen M. (5/5)

Jerry R. (5/5)

You can BANK on it!!

"Very pleased with this upgrade! Installed and doing great in my 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD 6. 6L 4x4 LB7 ! I appreciate the fact that all bolts and gaskets needed were included with the oil cooler purchase. I would definitely recommend this upgrade!"

Some 2001-2016 Duramax may require minor trimming of the manifold heat shield and heat shield boss
Will this still accept a stock oil filter?
Yes, this is oil cooler will accept a GM factory oil filters for the 2020-2025 model years.
Oil Cooler Upgrade Kit SKU #13252 What size is the plug with the oil temp port? Can I buy this piece for my 2021 L5D?
