Mercedes Sprinter Engine Oil Cooler Gasket Set – Elring | VS30 2.0L OM654 Diesel | #6541840080SET (2023–2024)

Replacing an engine oil cooler on a VS30 Sprinter without renewing the sealing gaskets is one of the most reliable ways to create an immediate repeat leak — and on the OM654 where oil and coolant share closely routed passages at the oil filter housing, a failed seal means contamination rather than just a drip. This is the Elring engine oil cooler gasket set for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine, a complete set of sealing components for a clean, leak-free oil cooler installation.

What This Part Does

The oil cooler gasket set includes the gaskets and o-rings that seal the oil cooler to the engine's oil filter housing assembly. These seals maintain the pressure boundary between the oil circuit and coolant circuit at the oil cooler interface — preventing oil from entering the coolant passages and coolant from entering the oil passages. On the OM654, the oil cooler housing is a thermally stressed junction that cycles between cold starts and full operating temperature hundreds of times over the cooler's service life. The rubber o-rings and gaskets that seal it compress, harden, and eventually develop micro-cracks that allow fluid migration — often appearing first as a gradual oil level drop or faint milkiness in the coolant reservoir before progressing to visible contamination. Elring manufactures these seals to OE specification using materials engineered for sustained thermal cycling and chemical compatibility with Mercedes-approved engine oils and coolants.

Common Signs That the Oil Cooler Seals Have Failed

• Milky or creamy engine oil on the dipstick or oil filler cap — coolant entering the oil circuit
• Oily residue, bubbles, or discoloration in the coolant reservoir — oil entering the coolant circuit
• Oil seeping from the oil cooler housing perimeter or around the filter housing mounting face
• Unexplained coolant loss without an external leak visible elsewhere in the system
• Oil-coolant mixing confirmed during an oil change or coolant service

When to Replace

Replace this gasket set any time the oil cooler is removed — never reinstall a used seal set on a freshly cleaned mating surface. Also replace when the oil cooler housing is disturbed during oil filter housing service, EGR cooler work, or any other repair that involves the oil cooler mounting face. The gasket set is sold alongside the oil cooler itself (6541800265) for a complete, one-time repair.

VS30 OM654 Specific — VIN Verification Required

This gasket set is for VS30 Sprinters equipped with the 2.0L OM654 diesel engine. It is not compatible with VS30 models equipped with the 3.0L OM642 or NCV3 Sprinters equipped with the 2.1L OM651. Always verify your engine code and VIN before ordering. Contact us and we'll confirm fitment before you buy.
