Description
The Mishimoto oil cooler kit, part number MMOC-350Z-03T, is a purpose-built 19-row stacked-plate cooler engineered specifically for the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 platforms. Unlike generic add-on coolers, this Mishimoto oil cooler is a direct-fit system with an application-specific mounting bracket, premade braided stainless steel lines, and a billet aluminum sandwich plate available in standard or thermostatic configurations.
Designed for drivers who push their VQ35DE- and VQ35HR-powered 350Z or G35 hard, this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is proven to lower engine oil temperatures by 25°F (14°C), helping protect against heat soak during spirited driving or track sessions. The bar-and-plate core delivers efficient heat rejection in a compact, silver anodized package, while the optional thermostatic sandwich plate allows the cooler to stay out of the oil circuit during cold starts for safer daily-driver warm-up, then bring the cooler online once operating temperature is reached. Because it works with both manual and automatic applications, this Mishimoto cooler suits a wide range of 350Z and G35 builds looking to add reliable cooling without a complicated custom fabrication job.
