Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-MIA-16BK is a direct-fit oil cooler kit engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata, a car that famously left the factory without any oil cooler at all. Built around a 19-row stacked-plate core, this Mishimoto oil cooler was designed by Mishimoto engineers to keep oil temperatures in check when the new Miata inevitably ends up lapping the track.
This Mishimoto oil cooler kit exists to solve a real gap in the 2016 Miata’s cooling system: with no factory oil cooler installed, spirited driving and track sessions can push oil temperatures higher than ideal. By routing oil through a 19-row stacked-plate cooler mounted directly in front of the radiator, this Mishimoto cooler was shown to produce consistent temperature decreases of up to 57°F (29.5°C) when paired with the non-thermostatic sandwich plate. Application-specific braided stainless steel lines with -10AN fittings move oil between the engine and the cooler, and the whole kit is finished with your choice of a Sleek Silver or Stealth Black powdercoat finish, making this Mishimoto oil cooler kit as much a cooling upgrade as it is a clean-looking addition under the front bumper.
