Description
The Mishimoto 19-Row Oil Cooler Kit, part number MMOC-MUS-79, is a direct-fit cooling solution engineered specifically for the Fox Body Ford Mustang. Built around a large 19-row bar-and-plate oil cooler that mounts in the front bumper for maximum airflow, this kit uses an application-specific mounting bracket, preassembled stainless steel braided lines, and an oil sandwich plate to deliver a clean, factory-style installation.
High-output naturally aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged Fox Body Mustangs generate significant underhood heat, which speeds up oil breakdown and accelerates engine wear. The Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed to counter that heat load, offering a dramatic temperature drop with minimal pressure loss so your oil stays in its effective operating range longer. The kit also adds more than .5 qt to your total oil capacity and can be installed in less than two hours, with Mishimoto noting the swap can go in under an hour. Buyers can choose between a Stealth Black or Sleek Silver cooler finish, and a thermostatic sandwich plate option is available for owners who want additional oil temperature control. As with every Mishimoto cooling product, this oil cooler kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
