As is the case for the majority of the diesel products sold on Tamerx Diesel Products, your part's warranty is active as soon as you install it. In some other cases, warranty activation is contingent upon you sending us your core (i.e., your old part). Tamerx Diesel Products will provide you a return shipping label for parts that have a warranty with a core return condition. When we have received your core return, the part's warranty coverage begins. We reserve the right to void the product warranty if your core is not received within the allotted time, or if it isn't received at all. If the warranty for the diesel part you are purchasing has a core return requirement, it will be clearly noted on the product detail page/item listing.
What is a Core Charge?
A core charge (also called "core deposit") is similar to the deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda and is a standard requirement in the auto parts industry. For example, in many states, to promote recycling, you pay a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts have a core charge, or core price, that works in essentially the same way as a soda can deposit.
30 Day Core Charge Hold
You authorize Tamerx Diesel Products, to hold your credit card for the specified core charge amount and that you agree to return your core with 30 days of receiving the purchased part. When we have received your core return, the hold is released and the core charge payment is canceled.

The Caterpillar 3406E and C15 engines, widely known for their durability, rely on many components to ensure smooth operation. One such crucial part is the oil cooler gasket, specifically the OEM 8T3387, designed for models produced between 1996 and 2007. This gasket plays an essential role in maintaining the efficiency of your engine's cooling system.
The oil cooler gasket acts as a seal between the oil cooler and the engine block. It prevents oil leaks, ensuring that the oil stays where it should while also keeping coolant from mixing with the oil. This separation is vital for optimal engine durability, as contaminated oil can lead to severe engine damage.
- Prevents oil leaks
- A secure seal ensures oil remains within the system, reducing the risk of leaks.
- Maintains coolant separation
- Keeps coolant and oil from mixing, preserving the integrity of both fluids.
- Ensures engine longevity
- Proper sealing helps avoid engine wear and potential breakdowns.
Over time, oil cooler gaskets can wear out, leading to leaks and other issues. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the gasket can prevent costly repairs and keep your Caterpillar 3406E or C15 engine running smoothly. If you're noticing oil leaks or a drop in coolant levels, it might be time to check your oil cooler gasket.
The oil cooler gasket is a crucial component in your vehicle's engine system, ensuring that the engine oil remains properly sealed and flows where it is needed. Over time, however, this gasket can wear out and lead to leaks, which may cause engine damage if left unchecked. So, how often should you replace your oil cooler gasket?
Replacement Frequency
The replacement interval for an oil cooler gasket can vary depending on several factors, such as the make and model of your vehicle, driving conditions, and maintenance habits. Generally, it is recommended to inspect the oil cooler gasket during routine maintenance and replace it if there are signs of wear or leakage. A good rule of thumb is to consider replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or sooner if you notice any issues.
Signs That Your Oil Cooler Gasket Needs Replacement:
- Visible oil leaks near the gasket area
- Overheating engine due to loss of coolant
- Oil mixing with coolant, leading to a milky appearance
- Decreased oil pressure
Regular Inspection is Key
Regular inspection of your oil cooler gasket is essential for maintaining your engine’s health. By catching potential issues early, you can avoid costly repairs and ensure that your vehicle runs smoothly. If you suspect that your oil cooler gasket may need replacement, it’s best to consult a professional mechanic to assess the situation.
