Description
The Mishimoto Universal Oil Cooler Kit (MMOC-U13TSL) pairs the proven Mishimoto 13-row stacked plate cooler with a billet anodized aluminum thermostatic sandwich plate finished in Silver, giving builders a complete, ready-to-install oil cooling solution rather than a bare core. Every kit ships with pre-assembled stainless steel braided oil lines, -10AN fittings, and dowty seals, so the leak-free plumbing is already done before it reaches your bench.
Proper oil temperature regulation is central to preserving the life of a stock or high-performance engine, and this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is built to keep temperatures in check without sacrificing flow. The 13-row bar-and-plate core withstands high fluid pressures and pulls oil temperatures down while exhibiting minimal pressure loss, and because the sandwich plate on this kit is thermostatic, oil flow to the cooler is limited until the engine reaches optimal operating temperature — a feature that makes it especially useful for drivers in cooler climates who still want the protection of a Mishimoto cooler on hotter days. As a Performance-grade cooler, it is designed for enthusiasts running boosted rotary engines, blown small blocks, or any application where extra oil cooling capacity is welcome.
Vehicle Applications
This is a universal-fit Mishimoto oil cooler kit rather than a vehicle-specific unit: it includes both 3/4-16 and M20-1.5 sandwich plate adapters, which cover the thread sizes used across most makes and models. Because the kit is built around adapters rather than a single fixed thread, it is suited to a wide range of engine bays — from turbocharged rotary swaps to supercharged small-block builds — anywhere a standard oil filter sandwich plate mounting location is available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mishimoto Universal Oil Cooler Kit include?
The kit includes the 13-row oil cooler, a 4-ft and a 5-ft stainless steel braided hose each with -10AN fittings (one straight and one 90-degree swivel fitting), an M20 thermostatic sandwich plate, -10AN fittings, dowty oil seals, a large O-ring, 1/8-in NPT Allen key plugs, sandwich plate adapters, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Does this kit fit specific vehicle makes and models?
This is a universal kit; it includes both 3/4-16 and M20-1.5 sandwich plate adapters that support fitment for most makes and models rather than a single vehicle-specific application.
Is the sandwich plate thermostatic?
Yes, this kit includes an M20 thermostatic sandwich plate that limits oil flow to the cooler until optimal temperature is reached, making it ideal for cooler climates.
What torque should be used on the fittings?
The recommended torque specification for all straight fittings and banjo bolts is 15-25 lb-ft, and the maximum torque rating of 35 ft-lb should not be exceeded.
Should I do anything before installation?
Mishimoto recommends flushing the oil cooler with one quart of clean oil prior to installation to remove any debris accumulated during shipping, and it is the installer’s responsibility to check all thermostat plugs, NPT plugs, and line fittings are fully tightened before operating the vehicle, with connections rechecked at regular intervals, especially during the first few miles after installation.
What warranty covers this kit?
This kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
