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 )
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.
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!
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 ;)
If the filter is new, it is not necessary to replace it. I would recommend performing this installation at the same time as an oil change though. This way you can knock off two tasks at once. :)
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?
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!.
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
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
No tune will be required for the install of the oil cooler. We suggest contacting us directly at support@mishimoto.com if you are looking for assistance picking out a catch can!
rambow70 the lower fittings (AN fittings) seal at the tip, as opposed to NPT type fittings which seal along the thread. You can see on AN fittings where they have the tip beveled at a 37deg angle. That fits into a "cup" of sorts on the other side, making a very good seal. Taping the threads wouldn't really do anything since AN type fittings don't seal there anyways. And you really do not want bits of teflon tape entering the oil system and clogging up an oil passage. See this page for some more info on the sealing surface of AN fittings: www.vsetrack.com/track_reports/2010/an_fittings/an_seals.htm
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
@Mishimoto Automotive 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
wouldn't worry too much looks like they have a stainless braided cover on them. i would b worried if they were just rubber. just check them from time to time.
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.
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.
I have a question: How this will prevent the oil to work under the right temperature? I mean, the oil must be working at least 90oC or 190oF right... Wont this cool it down to an under working temperature? Thank You.
can i fit this on to a 2007 sti ..... is there a bigger available because i see all the other kits u guys have come with bigger cores and this one seems to be significantly smaller
When the oil is drained from the pan, around .5 quarts will remain in the cooler and lines. It is not necessary to remove the cooler and/or lines to drain the oil during every fluid change. If you follow normal oil change intervals you should not have any issues!
We have unfortunately not tested fitment for this combination. The oil cooler should mount onto the vehicle without any issues. However there may be clearance issues with the headers and the oil sandwich plate that we have not been able to verify.
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
@@mishimoto what if i mount it on the out side of bumper, would there be any representations? I ask cuss i cant find a good top mount oil cooler. I just got a Mishimoto FMIC.
that such small cooler wouldnt do any better.... i got cooler about 1.5 times more row than that and still oil temp reaching around 96 degree Celcius on hot sunny day highway cruising..... and thats with factory warmer/cooler removed already...
hdidane00 Hello! This kit cools the engine oil. Technically, the engine oil also runs through the turbocharger so this could be considered a benefit as well. Let me know if you have further questions!
Just Bought This, the X-Line Radiator, and the Intercooler Hoses cant wait to install. I only wish you had the option for custom color for your hoses, any chances of that happening?????? Also any plans for upgraded Intercooler for WRX? no front mount.
We do not have a GC8 specific kit but one of our universal kits should work with some slight modifications: www.mishimoto.com/race/race-oil-cooler-kits.html
Hey Joshua, I do apologize but that kit will not be a direct-fit for the 98. I would recommend checking out one of the universal kits that are fairly easy to install! www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-universal-oil-cooler-kit.html
Is this compatible with hella horns? Also does this make more work for the oil pump, especially important for me since I’m also running an air-oil separator?
Hey Jordan. It looks like our test vehicle had OEM horn so I would not be able to confirm if this kit is compatible with Hella Horns. However, I can confirm that this kit will not cause any additional stress on the oil pump.
Hello R3S3T Nation. At this time, we only have confirmed fitment on the 2001-2005 WRX and 2004-2005 STI. This product should be compatible with your vehicle, however, we have not conducted any testing on this vehicle specifically. So I can not make any guarantees. The only real issue I can see you running into would be changing the mounting location due to the vehicles being on a different chassis.
Mishimoto Automotive thank you for your speedy response I was just curious been wanting to track my car and was looking for great easy to keel the temp down this was just one item I was looking at I might just get it and see want I can’t do to make it work thank you

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?
There's an optional thermostat in the mounting plate that prevents flow of oil if its below 185oF

can this be adapted on a carburated french engine ??
Dimitri Yvann the concept is the same and it will install the same way so yes
aside from putting waaaaaaaaay too much teflon tape, great installation!
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
It’s doesn’t apply to oil catch cans because those don’t effect the oil pressure. They pull the oil out of the air that made it past the piston rings

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?
Yep!
wow you cant even replace the oil filter? lol
Why no Teflon tape on the lower fittings?
They are flare fittings; they do not need it because they seal themselves when tightened.

anyone else think it would have been a good idea to just change the oil filter?
@Mishimoto Automotive
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
I would like to know the same thing before buying it...
Hey. Do you have one of these for a 2000 GC8 WRX that would fit with a FMIC?
how did u get the headlights off so quick, they would be a pain for me cause the metal tabs in the fender
Are there specific torque specs we have to follow?
those oil lines look pretty exposed and open to damage from road debe and such. I'd differently want to make some sort of metal shield for them
wouldn't worry too much looks like they have a stainless braided cover on them. i would b worried if they were just rubber. just check them from time to time.
seems to me they would wear a hole in the ac condenser before they become damaged
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.
My biggest question is: I am going to install a turbo on my 07 2.5i. With this kit, I do not need to tap the oil pan?
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.
I installed the kit probably, but the oil is no going through, and my oil light on the dashboard is on. HELP!!!
It can work in any car if you custom mount it...
I have a question: How this will prevent the oil to work under the right temperature? I mean, the oil must be working at least 90oC or 190oF right... Wont this cool it down to an under working temperature? Thank You.
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...
We would not suggest allowing the line to touch the manifold.
it could be installed in a no turbo model? ther will no be any problem w/ ECU configuration?
can i fit this on to a 2007 sti ..... is there a bigger available because i see all the other kits u guys have come with bigger cores and this one seems to be significantly smaller
i wish are bug eyes were this clean in Canada lol.
are these ok for winter driving?
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?
When the oil is drained from the pan, around .5 quarts will remain in the cooler and lines. It is not necessary to remove the cooler and/or lines to drain the oil during every fluid change. If you follow normal oil change intervals you should not have any issues!
+Mishimoto Automotive does this oil cooler also fits on a GC8? :D
+raptorjesus959 please email support@mishimoto.com - they will be more than happy to answer any technical questions! :)
I'd imagine yes, they have thermostat connector plates.
Would this work on an 02 2.5rs

Can this be used on economy cars, non-turbo? I have a honda fit 2010.
subscribed for hopefully future 06-07 direct fit kits.
Amazing video guys! Im searching a how to and/or product for our 2010 XT Forester, AT oil cooler!, Mishimoto doesnt have one, dont you guys?
would it be to hot to put some computer fans on it?
Can these brackets be sold separately?
Please feel free to email our support team for help with this, support@mishimoto.com
nice, im already waiting for warm up anyway cuz my forged pistons ;)
out of curiosity how well would that oil cooler fit there with hella horns in the typical Subaru spot
jr brasil Good morning! The bracket and horns would need to be relocated to work with this kit. Let us know if you have any further questions!
Will this work on a front mount intercooler
This would unfortunately not fit vehicles with a FMIC installed.
@@mishimoto what if i mount it on the out side of bumper, would there be any representations? I ask cuss i cant find a good top mount oil cooler. I just got a Mishimoto FMIC.
will this oil cooler fit a classic shape impreza aswell?
that such small cooler wouldnt do any better....
i got cooler about 1.5 times more row than that and still oil temp reaching around 96 degree Celcius on hot sunny day highway cruising.....
and thats with factory warmer/cooler removed already...
do you have to bleed the oil system?
wats the actual cooling difference
DOES IT WORK ON A SUBARU 2003 1.600cc ??
Still waiting on their response on this....
would it work on a subaru svx
what oil are you cooling? engine? trans? turbos? etc......????
hdidane00 Hello! This kit cools the engine oil. Technically, the engine oil also runs through the turbocharger so this could be considered a benefit as well. Let me know if you have further questions!
Im sure this will fit on a 05 Legacy GT
that shop floor is nasty

Is it on backwards? The m isn't showing.
We send out our cores with the M on 1 side for customer's preference.
@@mishimoto great video thank you
will this fit an 06 STi?
does mishimoto has one for the gc8?

Kinda expensive but I guess it was worth it.
