Porsche 914-6 OEM+/High-Performance Engine Oil Cooler

If you're a Porsche 914-6 owner from 1970-1976, you know that keeping your engine oil temperatures in check is crucial for performance and longevity. The original Behr oil cooler, designed back in the 1960s, has certainly seen better days. While you can ultrasonically clean and refurbish these old units, the reality is that they often start leaking shortly after, thanks to their aging materials. CSF has stepped up to the plate with a modern OEM+ solution that not only pays homage to the original design but significantly enhances reliability and performance.

Why Upgrade to CSF?

Many enthusiasts have reported that even brand new OE coolers from Porsche's "Porsche Classic" catalog have been leaking within months of installation. CSF recognized this gap and collaborated with SV Auto, experts in Porsche engine building, to develop a cooler that addresses these issues head-on.

Key Features

  • OEM+ recreation of the original Behr Oil Cooler, ensuring a perfect fit for your 914-6.
  • CNC machined billet aluminum mounting plate for superior strength and a flat mounting surface.
  • Modern tube and fin core design that improves oil flow and heat dissipation, outperforming the original by 10% and used units by up to 25%.
  • Enhanced durability with support bars that withstand burst pressures up to 290 psi (20 bar).
  • Finished in a Titanium Heat Dispersion Cerakote for added durability and improved heat management.
  • Drop-in fit installation—no modifications required, making it easy to upgrade without hassle.
  • Individually leak and pressure tested to ensure reliability.
  • 10-year warranty for peace of mind.

Technical Specifications

  • Color: Titanium Heat Dispersion Cerakote
  • Core Material: Aluminum
  • Core Row Quantity: 1
  • Inlet Fitting Type: Female
  • Outlet Fitting Type: Female
  • Installation Type: Drop-In Fit Installation

Real-World Performance

Extensive testing in controlled conditions has shown CSF’s oil cooler to be significantly more efficient than both the original Behr and newer OE units. In fact, at equal flow rates, the CSF cooler demonstrated an 8% improvement in heat dissipation and a 6-8% reduction in pressure drop. This means you can push your 914-6 harder on the street or track, knowing that your oil cooler is up to the task.

Customer Feedback

Many 914-6 owners have shared their satisfaction with the CSF cooler. One owner noted, "After installing the CSF oil cooler, I noticed a significant drop in oil temperatures even during spirited drives. The installation was straightforward, and I love the sleek titanium finish—it looks great in the engine bay!"

For those looking to maintain the classic aesthetic while upgrading performance, the CSF oil cooler is the ideal choice. It combines modern engineering with a nod to the past, ensuring your Porsche 914-6 runs cooler and more reliably than ever before.
