Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-MIA-16T is a direct-fit oil cooler kit engineered specifically for the new-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, a car Mishimoto’s own engineers noted left the factory without any oil cooler at all. Built around a 19-row stacked-plate, bar-and-plate core, this kit was developed to keep oil temperatures under control when the Miata heads to the track, and Mishimoto measured temperature drops of up to 57°F (29.5°C) when running the non-thermostatic sandwich plate.
As a purpose-built Mishimoto oil cooler kit, this system pairs a performance-grade 19-row core with application-specific aluminum mounting brackets that position the cooler directly in front of the radiator for maximum airflow. Pre-made stainless-steel braided lines with -10AN fittings route oil from the engine to the cooler and back with minimal pressure drop, and buyers choose between a billet aluminum thermostatic sandwich plate or a non-thermostatic sandwich plate depending on how they want oil temperature regulated. The kit also adds .75 qt of additional oil capacity and is offered in a Sleek Silver or Stealth Black powdercoat finish, so it can be color-matched to the rest of a Mishimoto cooling setup.
