Yes it did. There's two types of oil cooler and coolant pipes for the V6. The thinner coolant pipes would save on both the cost of the metals to make the pipes, and the cost of coolant. To individual owners, the cost is negligible, but to a company mass producing thousands, the costs soon add up. Another example of this mentality is the deletion of seat belt bolt covers.
