Description
HKS Oil Cooler Kit (Black)
Product Overview: HKS Oil Cooler Kit (Black) 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: 2023-2026 Honda Civic Type R (FL5)
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: Note: Bumper modification (drilling) is required for installation of this kit. This Kit Includes: Oil Cooler Core Air Duct (Unpainted) Air Intake Duct Core Protector Mounting Brackes #10 Oil Hoses Thermostat Housing Oil Filter Short Part (Fittings / Hardware) The Civic Type R FL5 has made significant advancements from its predecessor, the FK8—including improvements in handling performance, power output, and aerodynamics. However, through extensive road testing and durability evaluation, HKS has identified a key weakness: oil temperature tends to rise rapidly under high-load driving conditions. To address this, we have refined the proven cooling layout from the FK8, utilizing the left front fender location while redesigning the system to match the characteristics of the FL5. Considering coolant temperature and A/C performance, the oil cooler core has been positioned for maximum thermal ef
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.
