Description
Mishimoto Universal 16 Row Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit provides controlled oil temperature regulation to reduce operating oil temperatures and help preserve engine life for stock and high-performance applications.
This universal, thermostatic 16-row oil cooler kit is engineered by Mishimoto to offer reliable oil temperature control for most vehicles while including the necessary components to install a complete cooling solution.
- 16-row cooler core — A multi-row arrangement increases heat-exchange surface area to lower oil temperatures more effectively than single-row designs, improving thermal capacity during sustained high-load operation.
- Thermostatic valve integration — The built-in thermostatic control manages oil flow through the cooler based on oil temperature, maintaining optimal oil viscosity and reducing cold-start overcooling or unnecessary restriction at operating temperature.
- Universal fit design — Configured for broad vehicle compatibility, the kit is adaptable to a variety of engine bays and plumbing layouts, allowing retrofit installs on many stock and modified systems.
- Complete kit components — Supplied with the core hardware required for installation, the kit simplifies integration and reduces the need to source additional fittings or mounting parts.
Why this matters: consistent oil temperatures reduce thermal stress on engine lubricants and mechanical components, which supports long-term reliability for both daily-driven and performance engines. The thermostatic control ensures the cooler only engages when needed, preserving oil temperature stability across operating conditions.
