Mishimoto universal oil cooler kit questions

That's the only issue that I've seen as well. I know it's only one person, but it was a serious problem. If you choose to use the thermostatic plate, I would strongly suggest you install an oil pressure gauge. I'm still using the basic plate, which can be a pain in cooler weather. I usually block a portion of the cooler during the spring and fall. The car really doesn't leave the garage in the winter at all.

I do run an oil pressure gauge. I need a plate with 2- 1/8" npt ports and mishimoto is the only manufacturer that I could find that makes one. I'm in So. Cal. so I really don't need a thermostatic plate but it will bring the oil up to temp quicker.

If you get the plate. I would inspect the o-rings in it.

Mishishitymoto has spoty quality on their products over the years. The sandwich plates and radiators being the most common.
