beenaroo_01 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) We have an '01 Outback Wagon H6 (LL Bean), and I noticed on last oil change that the metal pipe transporting engine oil into/out the oil filter housing is rusting/rotting pretty seriously right in the middle. I don't know how non-H6 Outbacks go, but this one has oil filter below the engine, and this oil pipe I'm talking about is on the bottom, parallel to road surface, and must catch all the crud and water when driving. It seems to be secured on both ends with some rubber hoses and clips. The pipe looks to be about 3/8" OD. I was hoping to get this thing replaced when I do the next oil change, so I don't have to make a trip to the dealer. Can anyone with an electronic service manual tell me the part number for this pipe and rubber hoses fitted to its ends, please?

beenaroo_01 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 That's the one!! Thank you so much. Pipe, oil cooler, Part # 21328AA053 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 It's a coolant pipe, not an oil pipe (still needs fixed, just less impact if it leaks). All the oil stays in the base. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beenaroo_01 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 Oh snap! I'll have to take it to a shop for this then -- I don't do cooling systems because of disposal issues, since I don't have a garage and have to work in a parking lot. Oil is easy, since Pep Boys here in NJ take used oil, but not so for used coolant. Thanks for that info. Maybe when I get the new pipe, I will paint it to prevent corrosion there in the future.

oldgray1 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Make sure it's the same for the H6 engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found one or two local shops that will take coolant for a $1/container. For what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
