Perrin Oil Cooler Kit 2013-2021 BRZ / 2013-2016 FRS / 2017-2020 GT86 | Integrated Thermostat | High-Efficiency Oil Cooling System
Overview
The Perrin Oil Cooler Kit is designed to reduce engine oil temperatures for the Subaru BRZ, Scion FRS, and Toyota GT86 models within the specified years. By maintaining optimal oil temperatures, this kit helps extend engine life and ensures consistent horsepower delivery, especially under demanding driving or racing conditions. Elevated oil temperatures can degrade lubrication quality and reduce engine performance, making an effective oil cooling solution essential for enthusiasts who push their cars hard.
Engineered with a bar and plate style core, the Perrin Oil Cooler maximizes heat dissipation without restricting oil flow, preserving full oil pressure to the engine. The integrated 85°C thermostat ensures oil reaches its ideal operating temperature before cooling, preventing overcooling during normal driving. High-quality materials such as 6061 T6 aluminum for mounting brackets and filter spacers, combined with Aeroquip -10 hoses rated for high pressure and temperature, reflect Perrin’s commitment to durability and performance.
For Subaru BRZ and its platform siblings, this oil cooler kit delivers tangible benefits by lowering oil temperatures approximately 15°-20°F at 7,000 RPM, which helps maintain consistent engine performance and reliability during spirited driving or track use. The kit’s design allows for straightforward installation using existing mounting points, making it a practical upgrade for owners seeking to protect their investment and enhance engine longevity.

Installation & Compatibility
Installation of the Perrin Oil Cooler Kit is moderately involved and may require some mechanical experience. The kit mounts directly to existing OEM core support holes, simplifying the process, but the 2017-2020 BRZ and GT86 manual transmission models with OEM intake require slight modification to the air box for proper fitment. No special tools beyond standard hand tools are typically needed, but professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with oil system components. The integrated thermostat eliminates the need for manual oil temperature management, but it is important to verify compatibility with your specific model year and trim before installation.
