Extreme increases in oil temperature can break down the oil and decreases its ability to lubricate, cool and clean the engine and can cause damage as a result.
HKS Oil Cooler Kits are designed with advanced cooling technology which enables stable oil temperatures to extract the maximum from your engine.
With the use of a new core, both cooling and pressure drop prevention are balanced at a high level. Some vehicle applications contain air guides which maximises air flow through the cooler core during vehicle operation, even in drifting applications where the car may not be travelling in the direction it is pointing.

Universal Oil Cooler Kit
o types of kit are available with R Type kits being a filter relocation type and S Type being a sandwich type which is held in place by the oil filter.
Oil Temperature controlled by Thermostat
HKS Oil Coolers use high performance cooling cores and so there is the possibility of overcooling which is prevented with the use of a thermostat (some vehicles excluded). This thermostat has high response and so is able to react quickly to changing oil temperatures. Once oil temperature reach the set levels, the oil will flow through the cooler core but bypass it when temperatures drop below. This allows engine oil to be maintained at the ideal temperature.
Thermostat Opening Temperature 70?(±3?
Thermostat Full Open Temperature 80?(±3?)
Oil temperature fitting m12xp1.25 (R Type Only) Oil pressure fitting PT1/8
Thermostat relief feature allows for safe operation in times of emergency
In cases where the core or lines become blocked and oil pressure rises, the thermostat will bypass the core to maintain correct oil pressure and prevent damage to the oil lines and fittings.
Stainless braided hoses chosen for increased durability.
Hose lengths and fitting types are tailored to each vehicle application to ensure easy and tidy fitting whilst preventing connection errors. HKS has chosen Aeroquip to supply oil cooler hose which can offer form, function and durability with their wealth of experience and world famous reputation (Excluded some models)
