i dont think they go bad, from my understanding the oil runs inside and the coolant runs outside in seperate channels (divided by metal). I dont think there is a place for them to mix....
Im assuming your referring to the oil cooler that goes on the back of the block...

Re: (turbotime)
yea exactly it goes at the back, but my question is does the channels go bad by any chance? if that seperation channel goes bad then the oil will mix with the rad coolant.....now is the seperation metal channel is thick and good quality? i guess am paranoid!
