Description
The Mishimoto MMOCA-BRZ-13 Oil Sandwich Plate Adapter is purpose-built for the 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and Scion FR-S, letting owners of the FA20 engine bolt on an external oil cooler without drilling or tapping the block. Machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in silver, this sandwich plate ships in thermostatic and non-thermostatic versions so both track cars and daily-driven BRZs can take charge of oil temperature.
Among the many components of an automobile engine, few work as hard under sustained high-RPM driving as the oil circuit, and this sandwich plate is one of the essential car engine parts that lets you take control of it. Its M20x1.5 ports accept the available Mishimoto M20 to -10AN adapters, opening a high-flow path to an external oil cooler so the oil supporting combustion inside your FA20 stays in a healthier range lap after lap. For anyone researching engine parts for a car build, this adapter set also frees up two 1/8-NPT ports on the sandwich plate for temperature or pressure sensors, and the thermostatic version can be built with a 160, 185, or 200-degree thermostat for climate-specific warm-up behavior. The kit’s separate sandwich plate adapter set and center bolt connect oil cooler lines directly to your oil filter’s high-volume feed, so whether you’re chasing track lap times or just want more consistent parts of a car engine working together on your daily driver, installation stays straightforward.
