Description
The Mishimoto Direct-Fit Oil Cooler Kit, part number MMOC-BRZ-13TBK, is a black-finished, 19-row stacked bar-and-plate oil cooler built specifically to bolt into the front bumper of the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S platform, and it arrives with a thermostatic billet aluminum oil sandwich plate for added control over warm-up and operating temperature. This isn’t a universal cooler forced to fit — every bracket, line, and fitting is application-specific to this chassis.
Regulating oil temperature is critical for engine durability, whether you’re lapping a road course or just enjoying a spirited mountain drive, and this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is engineered to substantially decrease oil temperatures on stock or modified 2.0L-equipped cars. The kit routes oil through a large front-mounted cooler for maximum airflow, using stainless steel braided oil lines with -10AN fittings for a secure, leak-resistant path from the engine to the cooler and back. The included thermostatic oil sandwich plate speeds fluid warm-up while still giving you extra oil temperature management once the engine is up to operating range, and CNC-machined aluminum spacers ensure the sandwich plate clears surrounding components. Pair it with a Mishimoto BRZ/FR-S performance aluminum radiator and silicone radiator hose kit for a more complete cooling upgrade.
