2001 Celica GTS problem

[Chris Scott]

I have a 2001 Celica GTS 6 speed manual.  The short question is: Did the 2001 GTS come stock with an engine oil cooler?

The long question is:  I drove this GTS for years and love it so I thought I was doing a good thing by giving it to my son when he turned 17.  He decided to somehow take it on a ditch ride and pushed the oil cooler into the radiator causing both to leak.  In my research for buying the parts to fix it I am not sure if the engine oil cooler was stock or added on later.  If its stock I will replace it if not, I may delete it.  I tried the search feature and could not find if the cooler was stock or not and surprisingly I could not find out on Google or Youtube.  I thought you guys may be able to help.  Thanks, Chris

Welcome! The lack of search results is because our site is mainly dedicated to the 1982-1985 model year cars.

AFAIK oil coolers on 7th gens were either TRD or aftermarket, your car may have had the TRD unit put on years ago, or prior to your ownership.

That would explain the search results.  Thanks.  Since it was not stock i will more than likely delete it.
