TR oil cooler is the perfect upgrade for street or track car. Oil cooler kit prolongs the life of the engine oil and internal components especially for subarus under harsh driving conditions. The oil cooler also increases the overall engine oil capacity to make sure plenty of lubrication for the boxer engine. TR oil cooler comes assembled and includes all hardware with brackets for bolt-on installation. This kit comes in ready with built-in themostat oil-sandwich adapter, perfect for winter driving, to make sure the oil is not over cooled. Thermostat opens at 180F to ensure proper warm up. We have seen up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit of oil temperature improvement over stock during aggressive driving conditions!*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"style1\"\u003e* Depends on modifications\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"400\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"400\" height=\"27\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e16 Row Oil Cooler Core\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"400\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"400\" height=\"27\"\u003eHigh Quality Stainless Steel Braided Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"400\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"400\" height=\"27\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003eHigh Flow Aluminum Fittings \u0026amp; Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd height=\"27\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\"\u003ePrecision Machined Fittings\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd width=\"400\" height=\"27\" bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003eTemperature Controlled\u003c\/td\u003e\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e • 16 Row Oil Cooler with Alumium Adapters x 1 \u003cbr\u003e • Stainless Steel Braided Line with Fittings x 2 \u003cbr\u003e \n• Oil Sandwich Adapter with Built-In Thermostat x 1\u003cbr\u003e • Mounting Bracket x 1\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eOil Temp \u0026amp; Thermostat FAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy did TR choose a 180°F thermostat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px 0 0;\"\u003e\n      The 180°F plate balances daily driving and performance. It keeps the cooler bypassed until ~180°F for normal warm-up, then opens (fully ~190–195°F) to control oil temps during load so the FA24 stays in the ideal ~200–230°F range.\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a 200°F thermostat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv style=\"padding:8px 0 0;\"\u003e\n      Usually no. A 200°F plate simply delays flow to the cooler, which can raise steady-state temps by ~10–15°F.
