Part #: TR-ES2043. Elevated oil temperature can harm an engine's lubrication and protection, leading to failure in extreme cases. The Tomioka Racing oil cooler kit is a game - changer. It features a high - quality SETRAB aluminum heat exchanger with a 16 - row core that delivers excellent cooling in a compact design. This kit is specifically crafted to fit snugly behind the front bumper beam of the Subaru WRX. The cooler core connects to the boxer engine via stainless - steel braided lines and high - flow aluminum AN10 fittings, ensuring a smooth oil supply. The temperature - controlled oil sandwich adapter is a standout feature. It helps the engine warm up quickly in cold weather and starts working when the oil gets too hot. The thermostat opens at 180°F for proper warm - up, and the adapter comes with an extra sandwich plate for the top - mount oil filter.

Using the Tomioka oil cooler kit is straightforward. First, find the space behind the front bumper beam of your Subaru WRX and use the mounting brackets to install the 16 - row oil cooler. Connect the cooler core to the engine with the stainless - steel braided lines and high - flow aluminum fittings. Attach the oil sandwich adapter with the built - in thermostat to the engine as well. Remember, the thermostat starts working when the oil reaches 180°F. As for maintenance, regularly check the braided lines for any signs of wear or damage. Make sure the fittings are tight to prevent oil leaks. In cold weather, let the engine warm up a bit before driving to allow the adapter to do its job. Also, keep an eye on the oil temperature gauge to ensure the cooler is functioning properly.
