Description
The Mishimoto In-Line Oil Thermostat, part number MMOP-EXTFC, is a CNC-machined, billet 6061 aluminum unit built to regulate engine oil, transmission fluid, or other driveline fluid on projects where a standard oil sandwich plate simply won’t fit. Its compact, sleek profile and included heat-sink give it a distinct blend of function and style that sets it apart from bulkier fluid temperature solutions.
Designed for enthusiasts working on tight custom builds, this in-line thermostat brings precise thermal control to car engine and driveline fluid systems without demanding the clearance a traditional sandwich plate requires. The included thermostat opens at 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85°C) and is easily swapped for optional 160°F or 200°F units, letting builders dial in fluid temperature regulation to match their specific engine parts and performance goals. Four -10AN fittings with dowty seals ensure leak-free line connections, while the CNC-machined heat-sink helps pull additional heat out of the fluid as it passes through. Whether you’re organizing components of an automobile engine bay or routing lines through a tight chassis, this thermostat is engineered to slot into the layout without compromise.
Vehicle Applications
The Mishimoto In-Line Oil Thermostat is built for universal fitment rather than a single make or model, making it a flexible option across custom engine and driveline builds. Its compact size and included universal mounting bracket are specifically intended for projects where space or clearance constraints rule out a standard oil sandwich plate, so it can be adapted to a wide range of car engine and transmission fluid cooling setups.
