Mishimoto Oil Cooler Kit
2022–2024 Subaru BRZ / Toyota GR86
MMOC-BRZ-22TBK
Overview:
The Mishimoto Oil Cooler Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. When pushing these sports cars hard—whether on the track or spirited street driving—engine oil temperatures can rise rapidly, especially during extended periods of high RPM and aggressive cornering. This supplemental oil cooler kit addresses the limitations of the stock cooling system by adding a dedicated 19-row external oil cooler that significantly improves oil temperature management.
By increasing the oil capacity by 0.75 quarts and removing heat from the engine oil independently of the coolant system, this thermostatic kit reduces thermal stress on your engine, helping maintain optimal oil viscosity and lubrication. It’s an essential upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced reliability and performance under demanding conditions.
Key Features:
This Mishimoto oil cooler kit combines advanced engineering with direct-fit convenience to deliver superior cooling performance:
- Robust 19-row external oil cooler provides substantial heat dissipation capacity
- Thermostatic design eliminates the liquid-to-liquid cooler, reducing potential failure points
- Adds 0.75 quarts of oil to the system for improved cooling and lubrication
- Direct-fit mounting bracket positions the cooler front and center in the grille for maximum airflow
- Durable -10AN braided steel lines ensure consistent oil flow and resistance to abrasion
- Heat shielding sleeve included to protect lines from engine bay heat and abrasion
- Designed specifically for 2022+ Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 for seamless integration
- Backed by Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind
Construction & Design:
The oil cooler features a high-quality aluminum core with 19 rows of cooling fins, engineered to maximize heat transfer while maintaining a compact footprint. The black finish not only provides a sleek appearance but also adds corrosion resistance. The kit’s direct-fit mounting bracket is precision-machined to securely position the cooler in the optimal airflow path behind the grille, ensuring consistent cooling even at low speeds or during tight cornering.
All oil lines are constructed from braided stainless steel with -10AN fittings, offering superior durability and flexibility compared to stock rubber hoses. The included heat shielding sleeve further protects the lines from heat soak and mechanical wear, extending the life of the system under harsh conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed for straightforward installation on 2022 through 2024 Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 models. The kit includes all necessary hardware and components for a complete, bolt-on installation without the need for modifications or custom fabrication. The thermostatic design allows the oil cooler to operate independently from the stock liquid-to-liquid cooler, simplifying plumbing and reducing potential points of failure.
Installation typically takes a few hours and can be completed by experienced enthusiasts or professional mechanics. Detailed instructions are provided to guide you through each step, ensuring a secure and leak-free setup.
