Why Mishimoto
Mishimoto kits are designed for specific platforms rather than as universal parts. An oil cooler on a WRX or STI helps keep oil temperatures in check under sustained load, such as spirited driving or a day on track. The thermostatic oil cooler for BRZ and 86 only brings the cooler online once oil reaches temperature, so the engine isn't overcooled on cold starts. Silicone hose kits replace factory rubber hoses, which can perish with age and heat cycling, and the GR Corolla intercooler kit adds core capacity for cars running more boost than the factory core was designed for.
Choosing the Right Part
Most Mishimoto kits are direct replacements, but some intercooler and oil cooler kits need minor trimming of factory bumper supports or brackets depending on model year. If you're running a JDM import or a variant with different bumper supports, check clearances before ordering. For the Evo X BOV return hose, check against your factory routing, especially if you already have aftermarket piping.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended. Cooling system work needs fresh coolant or oil of the correct specification and a proper bleed procedure, and some intercooler kits require bumper removal.

FAQ
Will a Mishimoto oil cooler kit need tuning changes on my WRX or STI?
Oil cooler kits generally don't require a retune. Intercooler upgrades that change airflow can benefit from a tune, so check with your tuner.
What's the difference between the standard and thermostatic oil cooler for BRZ/86?
The thermostatic version only routes oil through the cooler once it reaches operating temperature, so the engine warms up normally. The standard cooler runs oil through it all the time.
Do these kits suit street cars or only track builds?
Both. Many are used on daily-driven cars purely for reliability and heat management.
Does Mishimoto cooling gear come with a warranty?
Yes, Mishimoto products carry manufacturer warranty. Contact us if you need help with a claim.
