Description
HKS S-Type Oil Cooler Kit
Product Overview: HKS S-Type Oil Cooler Kit 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: 2017-2019 Honda Civic Type R (FK8)
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: Does not fit the 2020+ FK8 Type R due to the new addition of a sensing module. Not compatible with vehicles equipped with Honda Sensing. Product Development Concept: - The K20C engine generates 320ps with 2.0 displacement; therefore, the vehicle is equipped with a water-cooled oil cooler to stabilize the extreme high engine output. However, under circuit driving, the temperature of both oil and water rise sharply because adequate heat radiation cannot be obtained, and fail safe mode becomes activated. - Adding HKS air cooling type oil cooler kit provides high heat exchange efficiency to suppress the temperature rise not only of the oil but also the water. HKS oil cooler kit includes a special aluminum air guide. Features - Newly developed 48mm wide 9-layper oil cooler core and special air duct to extract the maximum performance are utilized and mounted to the inside of the inner fe
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.
