The Bar-Tek 3.0L TDI EA897 Evo Oil Cooler Kit is an additional oil cooling system designed by Bar-Tek for VAG Group's 3.0 TDI EA897 Evo engines. The system is intended for use where the engine is subjected to prolonged loads, such as in heavy street driving, towing, or a tuned engine, and the original oil cooling no longer keeps the oil temperature at an optimal level.
The complete system features an OEM-type construction and integrates directly into the engine's oil circulation without structural modifications.

Technical overview
The system directs oil through the cooler only when the thermostat opens, allowing the engine to reach normal operating temperature without overcooling. As the load increases, the additional oil cooler improves oil temperature management and supports more stable oil pressure during sustained stress.
The entire system is designed to work with the EA897 Evo engine's original oil system without the need for additional modifications.
