Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-MUS-79T oil cooler kit is a direct-fit, 19-row oil cooler built specifically for the Fox Body Ford Mustang, mounting in the front bumper for maximum airflow. This Silver Cooler, Thermostatic option pairs a silver-finished cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate for added control over oil temperature, and the whole kit installs in less than two hours.
The Fox Body Mustang is known for its lightweight chassis and powerful drivetrain, but high-powered NA, turbocharged, and supercharged setups generate an abundance of unwanted underhood heat that accelerates oil breakdown and engine wear. This Mishimoto oil cooler kit is engineered to protect against that heat, delivering a dramatic temperature drop with minimal pressure loss so your oil stays cooler under load. Because it adds more than .5 qt to your total oil capacity and routes through a large 19-row core, it gives your Mustang meaningfully more thermal margin than the stock setup, and as with every Mishimoto cooling product, it’s backed by the Mishimoto lifetime warranty.
