Description
The Mishimoto Universal Oil Cooler Kit (MMOC-U16TBK) pairs the proven Mishimoto 16-row stacked plate cooler with a black, billet anodized aluminum thermostatic sandwich plate, giving builders a bolt-in solution for taming oil temperatures on nearly any project. This is the Black Cooler, Thermostatic configuration, meaning oil flow to the cooler is limited until the engine reaches optimal operating temperature — a real advantage for anyone running boosted or high-output builds in cooler climates.
Proper oil temperature regulation is essential to extending and preserving the life of a stock or high-performance engine, and this Mishimoto oil cooler kit was engineered to reduce oil temperatures while protecting against oil degradation. At the heart of the kit is a bar-and-plate, 16-row stacked plate core finished in black that is built to withstand high fluid pressures and pull down oil temperatures with minimal pressure loss. Because the kit ships with both 3/4-16 and M20-1.5 sandwich plate adapters, along with -10AN fittings and Dowty seals throughout, it supports installation across a wide range of makes and models rather than a single application — ideal whether you’re wrenching on a boosted rotary or a blown small block that needs extra oil cooling capacity.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal oil cooler kit, engineered with dual sandwich plate adapter threading (3/4-16 and M20-1.5) specifically so it can be adapted to most makes and models rather than a single, fixed application. Because fitment depends on matching the correct sandwich plate adapter and line routing to your engine’s oil filter mounting location, it is suited to enthusiasts building custom cooling setups on stock or high-performance engines rather than being tied to one vehicle platform.
