Part Number: 1516458 (Caterpillar reference 151-6458)
Type: Hydraulic oil cooler core - core only, no tanks or frame
Function: Sheds heat from the hydraulic circuit through tightly packed parallel tubes and fins, separate from the engine coolant system
Dimensions: 981 mm long
Material: Alloy aluminium
Weight: 145.0 lbs.
Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
Application: Replaces the hydraulic oil cooler core on the Caterpillar 330B L excavator
Shipping Restrictions: Ships to the lower 48 US states only
Note: This is the HYDRAULIC OIL cooler core, not the engine radiator core - Caterpillar names it specifically as a hydraulic oil cooler. Tanks, side frames, lines and hardware are not included. Caterpillar publishes only the 981 mm length; measure the core being removed before ordering. At 145 lbs this ships LTL freight; inspect fins and tube ends on arrival.
Common Use Case or Symptoms:
Order this when a 330B L slows down and gets hot late in a dig cycle, when hydraulic oil temperature climbs while coolant stays normal, or when the cooler is weeping oil into the pack - on an excavator this size the hydraulics make more heat than the engine does, and this is the part that carries it away.
Why Choose Broken Tractor?
✅ Hydraulic Circuit Not Coolant: Caterpillar names this specifically a hydraulic oil cooler core - oil temperature and coolant temperature are separate complaints with separate parts.
✅ Aluminium Construction: Alloy aluminium as Caterpillar built it, which is lighter than a copper core of the same face area but repairs differently.
✅ Largest Cooler In The Section: 145 lbs and 981 mm of core, the biggest single cooling element in this catalog - sized for a 330B L's hydraulic load.
