Mishimoto Universal Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit – 16-Row (Black)
Protect your engine and extend its life with the Mishimoto Universal Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit. Proper oil temperature regulation is critical for both stock and high-performance engines. This complete 16-row kit helps maintain optimal oil temperatures, reduces oil degradation, and provides extra protection during spirited driving, track use, or towing.
The kit features a high-efficiency 16-row stacked-plate oil cooler paired with a thermostatic billet aluminum sandwich plate. The thermostatic design prevents oil from flowing through the cooler until the engine reaches optimal operating temperature making it ideal for daily driving and cooler climates.
