Elring Gasket Set – Oil Cooler 367.370

The Elring Gasket Set 367.370 is a premium sealing solution specifically engineered for the oil cooler assemblies of BMW vehicles. Designed with precision and durability in mind, this gasket set ensures optimal fluid containment, preventing leaks that could compromise engine performance or lead to costly repairs.

Key Features

• Exact Fitment: The gasket dimensions are calibrated for the BMW 367.370 oil cooler, guaranteeing a snug, leak‑free seal on all compatible models.
• High‑Temperature Resistance: Crafted from advanced elastomeric materials, the gaskets withstand operating temperatures up to 200 °C without degradation.
• Corrosion‑Proof Construction: The selected polymers resist oxidation and chemical attack from engine oil, ensuring long‑term reliability even under harsh conditions.
• Dual‑Component Design: Each set includes two gaskets—one for the cooler housing and one for the thermostat inlet—providing comprehensive coverage of all critical joints.
• Easy Installation: The flat, flexible profile allows for straightforward placement during oil cooler replacement or routine maintenance.

Compatibility Overview

The gasket set is engineered to fit a wide range of BMW models that utilize the 367.370 oil cooler architecture. Below is an extensive list of compatible vehicles, grouped by series and model year:

Material Composition & Performance Benefits

• Primary Elastomer: A high‑grade nitrile rubber (NBR) blend offers excellent oil resistance and maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range.
• Reinforcement Layer: Embedded with carbon fiber strands, the gasket resists compression set and preserves sealing integrity over prolonged use.
• Surface Finish: The mating surfaces are engineered to match the oil cooler’s internal geometry, reducing turbulence and ensuring uniform pressure distribution.

Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Remove the existing gasket set and clean all mating surfaces with a non‑abrasive solvent to eliminate old sealant or debris.
2. Positioning: Place the new gasket on the cooler housing, aligning it precisely with the mounting holes. Ensure that the gasket’s flat side faces the oil flow path.
3. Thermostat Inlet Gasket: Install the second gasket onto the thermostat inlet flange, again ensuring correct orientation.
4. Reassembly: Reattach the oil cooler to the engine block or transmission housing. Tighten bolts in a cross‑pattern sequence to achieve even pressure distribution.
5. Leak Check: After reinstallation, run the engine and inspect for any signs of oil leakage around the cooler assembly.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the gasket set during every major service interval or whenever an oil leak is detected.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on gasket surfaces; opt for mild, OEM‑approved solvents.
• Store spare gaskets in a cool, dry place to prevent premature aging of elastomeric materials.
