Porsche 911 models from 1970-1973, this OE-quality component restores
efficient engine oil cooling while preserving the originality of your vehicle.
Fits:
- Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)

Unlike later finned oil coolers, the trombone oil cooler uses a continuous loop of oil pipe mounted in the front wheel arch. As airflow passes over the curved tube, excess heat is dissipated from the engine oil before it returns to the engine. Its distinctive looped design earned it the nickname "Trombone Oil Cooler", and it remains an iconic feature of early long-wheelbase Porsche 911 models.
Manufactured to OE specifications, this replacement oil cooler offers excellent fitment, corrosion resistance and long-term durability, making it ideal for restorations, maintenance or replacing damaged original units.
What Does the Oil Cooler Do?
Engine oil performs two vital functions in an air-cooled Porsche: lubricating internal engine components and carrying away excess heat.
The front-mounted Snake Type oil cooler helps to:
- Reduce engine oil temperature.
- Improve lubrication under demanding driving conditions.
- Protect internal engine components from excessive heat.
- Maintain stable oil viscosity.
- Increase engine reliability and longevity.
- Support consistent engine performance during warm weather and spirited driving.
Although simple in design, the trombone cooler provides a significant improvement in oil temperature control compared to engines without a front-mounted oil cooler.
Why Do Oil Coolers Need Replacing?
After decades of service, oil coolers can become damaged or
less effective due to:
- External corrosion.
- Stone impacts and road debris.
- Internal contamination.
- Oil leaks caused by corrosion or physical damage.
- Accident damage.
- Previous poor repairs or deformation of the cooling loop.
Replacing a damaged oil cooler helps maintain correct oil temperatures while preventing potentially expensive engine damage caused by oil loss.
Symptoms of a Failing Oil Cooler
Common warning signs include:
- Visible oil leaks around the cooler.
- Rising engine oil temperatures.
- Oil residue around the front wheel arch.
- Corroded or damaged cooling tube.
- Reduced cooling efficiency.
- Oil pressure concerns caused by oil loss.
- Physical damage from road debris.
If any oil leakage is present, the cooling system should be inspected immediately.
When Should the Trombone Oil Cooler Be Replaced?
Replacement is recommended when:
- Oil leaks develop.
- Corrosion weakens the cooling tube.
- Accident damage has occurred.
- Restoring a classic Porsche to factory specification.
- Replacing damaged front oil lines.
- Carrying out a complete oil cooling system overhaul.
Replacing ageing cooling components helps maintain reliable engine temperature control and protects your investment.
Why Choose an OE Match Oil Cooler?
Our OE Match Snake Type oil cooler has been engineered to closely replicate the original Porsche component.
Benefits include:
- Correct Trombone (Snake Type) design.
- OE-quality construction.
- Precision-formed cooling loop.
- Corrosion-resistant finish.
- Excellent oil flow characteristics.
- Straightforward installation using factory mounting points.
- Ideal for restorations and originality-focused vehicles.

The engine oil cooler helps regulate the temperature of the engine oil, which is critical for:
• Protecting engine internals from heat damage
• Maintaining stable oil viscosity
• Reducing wear and friction losses
• Supporting consistent performance under heavy driving, hot ambient temperatures, or towing
Oil that runs too hot loses lubricating properties, increasing friction and accelerating wear. By circulating hot engine oil through a dedicated heat exchanger where heat is transferred away into coolant or ambient air, the oil cooler keeps temperatures in an optimal range - supporting engine reliability, performance, and longevity.
Fitment / Position on Car
• Installed on: Front end of engine bay near coolant radiators, integrated with oil and coolant lines
• Position: Typically mounted ahead of or alongside the engine block, interfacing with dedicated oil lines and the coolant circuit
• Connection: Uses Porsche-specific fittings and seals for leak-free integration with OE lines
Engine oil not only lubricates but also helps carry heat away from internal surfaces. In high-performance turbocharged engines, oil temperatures can spike rapidly if not effectively controlled. A genuine Porsche OE oil cooler like 9A711701530 ensures heat is effectively removed from the oil, protecting internal components and maintaining optimal lubrication characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions.

Installed within the engine lubrication circuit, the oil cooler circulates hot engine oil through a series of finned cooling channels where heat is dissipated before the oil returns to the engine. By maintaining optimal oil temperatures, it reduces thermal stress, helps preserve oil viscosity, and supports consistent lubrication - critical for long-term engine reliability and performance.
MAHLE’s precision-engineered cooler is designed for use with 3.0 L engines in a range of Porsche models, providing reliable cooling capacity and direct fitment as a replacement for the OE unit.
Fitment / Position on Car
• Installed on: Front end of engine bay near coolant radiators, integrated with oil and coolant lines
• Position: Typically mounted ahead of or alongside the engine block, interfacing with dedicated oil lines and the coolant circuit
• Connection: Uses Porsche-specific fittings and seals for leak-free integration with OE lines
Engine oil not only lubricates but also helps carry heat away from internal surfaces. In high-performance turbocharged engines, oil temperatures can spike rapidly if not effectively controlled. A fresh oil cooler ensures heat is effectively removed from the oil, protecting internal components and maintaining optimal lubrication characteristics under a wide range of operating conditions.
