ABSTRACT:
A vehicle radiator allows a tank oil cooler to be selectively installed or left out, with no weight penalty when it is left out. A displacement device consisting of a simple blow molded, hollow block, of equal volume to the oil cooler, is installed in place of the oil cooler when the oil cooler is not installed. This avoids the addition of an extra volume of coolant, and the attendant weight penalty.
