Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-WRX-06TBK is a direct-fit oil cooler kit purpose-built for the Hawkeye-generation Subaru WRX and STI, pairing a large 19-row bar-and-plate oil cooler with a black anodized finish and a thermostatic sandwich plate for extra oil temperature control. This is the Black Cooler, Thermostatic configuration of Mishimoto’s WRX oil cooler kit, engineered to deliver a 50°F (34°C) temperature drop with minimal pressure loss whether you’re driving to work or lapping a track.
A high-horsepower Subaru needs a reliable, efficient way to manage oil temperatures, since excessive heat accelerates oil degradation and can lead to engine damage over time. This Mishimoto oil cooler kit mounts behind the front bumper and grille for optimal airflow, adds .65 qt to total oil capacity, and uses a CNC-machined spacer that allows installation without removing the factory heat shield. Whether you’re searching for a proven Mishimoto oil cooler, a complete Mishimoto oil cooler kit, or dependable cooling hardware for a track-driven Subaru, this kit is designed as a bolt-on cooling upgrade backed by the Mishimoto lifetime warranty.
Vehicle Applications
This oil cooler kit is a direct fit for the 2006–2007 Subaru Impreza WRX, WRX Limited, WRX STI, and WRX TR, as well as the 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited. It is designed around the GD-chassis EJ255 and EJ257 engines and fits both automatic and manual applications. Because it mounts behind the front bumper and grille, it will not fit vehicles equipped with front mount intercoolers, and Mishimoto recommends inspecting the oil filter housing for installation compatibility; fitment has been confirmed against Subaru part 21311AA051.
