Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooling mechanism (1), in particular for cooling oil in a motor vehicle, with a housing (2) having a bracket (3), by means of which housing (2) the cooling mechanism (1) is connected to an internal combustion engine, a transmission fluid cooler (10), and an engine oil cooler (7). Pertinent to the invention is that the cooling mechanism (1) is designed in a sandwich-type manner having an intermediate module (11) positioned between the engine oil cooler (7) and the transmission fluid cooler (10), which intermediate module (11) has at least one supply/removal assembly (12) that communicates with the engine oil cooler (7) and has corresponding supply/removal lines or connections.
