Description
The Mishimoto Universal Oil Cooler Kit, part number MMOC-U13TBK, centers on a black-anodized billet aluminum thermostatic sandwich plate paired with Mishimoto’s proven 13-row bar-and-plate stacked-plate cooler core. Built to be installed across a wide range of engine bays rather than a single application, this kit gives builders a genuinely universal way to manage oil temperature without hunting for vehicle-specific hardware.
Proper oil temperature regulation is central to extending and preserving the life of a stock or high-performance engine, and this mishimoto oil cooler kit is engineered around that goal. The thermostatic sandwich plate adds an extra layer of control by limiting oil flow to the cooler until the oil reaches optimal operating temperature, which makes it especially useful for drivers in cooler climates. At the heart of the kit sits the mishimoto 13-row stacked plate cooler, a bar-and-plate core designed to withstand high fluid pressures and significantly reduce oil temperatures while exhibiting minimal pressure loss. Whether the build is a boosted rotary or a blown small block, this mishimoto cooler kit is intended to keep oil temperatures under control so the engine stays protected and on the road or track longer.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed as a universal solution and is applicable for most vehicles rather than one specific make or model. To support that broad compatibility, the kit includes both 3/4-16 and M20-1.5 sandwich plate adapters, allowing the sandwich plate and cooler to be adapted to fit most makes and models. This flexible approach makes it a practical mishimoto oil cooler kit option for enthusiasts building boosted rotary engines, blown small-block engines, or other performance platforms that need improved oil temperature control.
