I just installed the oil filter sandwich and installed the oil cooler. Rerouted my tranny lines from radiator to air tranny cooler that already existed on front of radiator. Then installed the temp. guages for oil temp. and tranny temp. Bought the pillar specially made for nissan frontier online, where the guages go. Had a small leak when installing filter sandwich so had to do modificiations. Not as easy as it looks. Thanks for the video.

PSA: do not use teflon tape on oil fittings, even the set screws used as plugs, you're just asking for a piece to break free and clog up an oil galley somewhere in your block or turbo feed. Use a teflon based sealing compound ( paste) or a thread locking sealant (I would use red )

[matthewruss]

one thing I find bit misleading about the video in my view is the fact you put the old flter back on, id always use a new filter, but great video though extremely clear ;)

Damn so I’m going to have to move my twin turbos (hella horns) to do this. Will this work with your 3 row radiator?

Is it necessary to have a tune for this product? Suppose it just keeps the temps cooler for a bit and thats it. Also which AOS do you recommend for 05 WRX ej205 . Cheers

I heard somewhere before that when installing a oil cooler (also applies for oil catch can) that it changes the oil pressure and will require adjustments to the ecu ie, remap? What would your opinion be on this?
Regards

[Thr.Sidz]

why install this if ur keeping the OEM Cooler? Besides cooling the oil, i think a lot of us WRX/STi owners would like to get rid of the notorious Leaky OEM Coolers!

[renedelafuente]

Where can I buy the upper bracket only? Need to install oil cooler but room is very limited on my car, so need to drill some holes but I like that bracket. Thanks, any feedback appreciated. Thanks for the video.

[dimitriyvann]

can this be adapted on a carburated french engine ??

Will this 10 row oil cooler actually do something to help not to reach 120 celsius degrees ? Is there an official test where real data can be seen ? Thanks

[samhardy]

Can you do a tutorial on how to put the oil cooler on the front of you bumper, I know its not good for the cooler but it looks nice and how much does one cost

[yamahaSHO]

Who taught that guy how to wrap teflon tape?!


Why isn't there a thermostat or a thermostatic sandwhich? I would not market this for the street without one... Especially for winter.

What size are the lines/fittings?

[juanolazabal]

it could be installed in a no turbo model? ther will no be any problem w/ ECU configuration?

hi, I have an old Subaru 1.8 L-series and plan to fit an oil cooler; the Mishimoto product looks excellent. I'd just add that before putting all the splash-guards, bumper assembly and lights back in, I'd have run the engine up to temperature and checked for leaks!.

[JDMAlvin]

how did u get the headlights off so quick, they would be a pain for me cause the metal tabs in the fender

[warracer]

aside from putting too much teflon tape, great installation!

[lopezml]

when you drain the oil does the oil from the cooler come out as well? Or do you have to disconnect it to drain the cooler?

[davprod]

If the hoses touch the headers is it good? I don'T think but I wanna know if you had made a heat sheld for...

[AMH]

Can this also be used on other 2.5 Subaru motors? Such as a 01 Outback? Besides the mounting holes and routing the lines, it should bolt up to the motor the same.

Hi guys I have purchased one of your oil coolers. How long are the oil cooler lines from cooler to sandwich plate so I can have some made. Really hope you can help me out. Thanks phil
