Description
The Mishimoto MMOC-WRX-01 Oil Cooler Kit is a direct-fit, front grille-mounted oil cooler engineered specifically for the Subaru WRX and STI platform. Built around a 10-row, bar-and-plate performance core, this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed to drop oil temperatures over 20 degrees while installing in as little as two hours thanks to application-specific mounting brackets and hardware.
As part of Mishimoto’s Cooling lineup, this oil cooler kit gives WRX and STI owners a straightforward way to manage oil temperatures whether the car sees daily street duty or track days. The silver anodized, bar-and-plate core is paired with -10AN male flare fittings for a secure connection, and Mishimoto backs the kit with the reported 2 psi pressure loss and a Lifetime Warranty. Buyers can choose between a sleek silver finish or a stealth black cooler, and a thermostatic option is also available for those who want additional temperature control.
