The following graphic shows the connection of the auxiliary radiator to the cooling system. The auxiliary radiator is connected to the radiator by means of parallel coolant lines, thus increasing the cooling surface area. This system is combined with an oil-to-coolant heat exchanger mounted on the oil filter housing. (See in the previous graphic.)
