Review on πŸ”₯ 25 Row Mishimoto Universal Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit by Buddy Colbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice versatile set. Be sure to plan your installation.

This kit is a general purpose kit so you will need to plan your cooler installation and measure the area around the oil filter to ensure you have room for the lines and the intermediate plate will sit flat. I ended up with two different gaskets as the space around my oil filter was tighter than I thought. Mishimoto has several vehicle specific kits that may work better. I have a 2.0 liter Subaru engine that has a lip around the oil filter that I didn't want to modify. Subaru kits have a spacer that might fit me, but you can't order just that spacer. Not being able to get a pad is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. At the time of writing I was still waiting for the banjo screws to arrive. This allows me to better position the hoses. Again, this is a one-stop kit, so planning the installation will take additional time.

Pros
  • Withstands high fluid pressure and lowers oil temperature
Cons
  • Repair
