Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-370Z-09TBK is the Black Cooler, Thermostatic version of Mishimoto’s oil cooler kit engineered specifically for the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37 coupe. Built around a 19-row bar-and-plate core finished in black anodized aluminum, this direct-fit kit works with both manual and automatic transmission applications, giving VQ37VHR-equipped owners a dedicated tool for managing oil temperature during hard driving.
Keeping oil temperature in check matters for anyone who pushes a 370Z or G37 on track or on spirited drives, and this Mishimoto oil cooler kit addresses that with a Performance-grade, bar-and-plate core designed for heat rejection. Because this specific kit includes the thermostatic sandwich plate option, it’s suited to daily driving as well as track duty — the billet aluminum plate helps the engine reach normal operating temperature during warm-up while still directing oil through the cooler for additional temperature control once things heat up. The kit is built around application-specific mounting brackets and premade stainless steel braided oil lines with -10AN fittings, so it installs following factory-style routing rather than a generic universal layout.
