Mishimoto Thermostatic Oil Cooler Kit - Subaru WRX/STI (GD/GG)
Mishimoto builds application specific cooling hardware engineered to keep oil temperatures under control without compromising factory fitment or long term reliability.

This listing covers the Subaru WRX and STI (GD/GG chassis), suiting both automatic and manual applications. The kit is available in Sleek Silver or Stealth Black cooler finishes, and with either the standard oil sandwich plate or the rear-mounted thermostat sandwich plate for finer temperature control - select your preferred combination from the variant options on this listing.
