Description
HKS Type-S Oil Cooler
Product Overview: HKS Type-S Oil Cooler is an engine-oil thermal-management component designed to help control lubricant temperature under elevated load. This listing is structured around the exact HKS product/SKU so shoppers can match the component to the intended vehicle or build without relying on a generic product-family description.
Vehicle Application: 2022-2026 Subaru BRZ/Toyota GR86 (ZD8/ZN8)
Driver Benefit: Keeping oil temperature within a more stable operating range can improve consistency and reduce thermal stress during extended spirited driving or track sessions.
Recommended Use: Best suited to cars that see repeated high-load use, warm climates, forced induction, or track driving where factory oil-temperature control may become a limiting factor.
Technical & Fitment Notes
- Verify core, hose, fitting, thermostat, and mounting configuration for the exact kit before installation.
- Oil level and leak checks should be performed after installation and again after initial heat cycles.
- Original catalog note: Requires replacement of the washer tank with the tank included in the kit. Includes adjustable intake vent. A must-have for both NA-tuned and boosted vehicles. Features: - Prevents the oil temperature rise and make continuous laps by installing it on the GR86/BRZ, which have a problem with oil temperature exceeding 130 degrees C during track laps. (when driving on the FSW short course). - The "machined aluminum attachment" is equipped with a thermostat to avoid increased viscous friction of the engine oil due to overcooling. - A 12 row oil cooler core is mounted inside the bumper in front of the left wheel while retaining the performance of the stock front bumper louvers. - For NA vehicles, the engine oil is cooled without affecting the operation of the radiator. By adjusting the oil cooler duct opening to any desired width, it is possible to accommodate the different bumper openings of
Fitment and specifications can vary by HKS part number, model year, trim, transmission, drivetrain, and market. Confirm the SKU and application before ordering, particularly on modified vehicles.
