Application and Function in the Oil Cooling System

The automatic gearbox oil line in Mercedes W169 and W245 models operates in a demanding thermal and hydraulic environment. Its task is to maintain a sealed flow of transmission oil between the gearbox and the oil cooler, which allows for:

• stabilization of the automatic transmission's operating temperature,
• reduction of the risk of gearbox overheating,
• maintenance of proper oil circuit pressure,
• increased durability of the gearbox's internal components.

Thanks to its appropriately selected geometry and internal diameter, the line ensures proper flow of the working medium, which translates into predictable drivetrain operation.

Compatibility with Automatic Transmission

The presented line has been designed to work with the automatic transmission in Mercedes vehicles from the W169 and W245 families. This means it is adapted in terms of:

• connection layout to the gearbox housing and oil cooler,
• resistance to the operating pressure typical for automatic transmissions,
• resistance to transmission oil temperature under normal and elevated load conditions.

Such adaptation facilitates installation and reduces the risk of leaks, which is particularly important for systems operating under constant thermal load.

Product Characteristics and Benefits of Use

As a component from the Oil Coolers and Lines group, this oil hose is an essential part of the entire transmission oil cooling system. Using an original design solution allows for:

• maintaining the gearbox's factory operating characteristics,
• reducing the risk of leaks due to proper fit of ends and seals,
• maintaining the correct oil temperature during city and highway driving,
• reducing the thermal load on friction elements inside the transmission.

This is a sensible choice for repairs related to oil cooler replacement, leak removal, or comprehensive servicing of the automatic transmission in compact Mercedes models.

Condition, Verification, and Preparation for Installation

The component is from disassembly and is offered as a used original component. This type of part allows for economical vehicle repair while maintaining a design consistent with the manufacturer's original project. Before installation, a standard inspection of the system is recommended for cleanliness of the lines, correctness of the mountings, and condition of other oil path elements to ensure a leak-free and safe operation of the entire system.
