Perrin Top Mount Oil Cooler Kit Black Top Mounted 2015-2025 WRX | Efficient Oil Cooling | Performance Cooling Kit
Overview
The Perrin Top Mount Oil Cooler Kit is a smart, functional upgrade designed specifically for 2015-2025 Subaru WRX models equipped with an aftermarket front mount intercooler (FMIC) and a 6-speed manual transmission. This kit repurposes the OEM hood scoop, which otherwise loses its airflow function after FMIC installation, to provide efficient engine oil cooling. By mounting the oil cooler on top of the engine bay, it takes advantage of direct airflow through the hood scoop to reduce oil temperatures and improve overall engine reliability under demanding conditions.
Engineered with precision, the kit features CNC-machined aluminum mounting brackets finished in black anodizing for durability and corrosion resistance. The lightweight Aeroquip -10 hoses are rated for high pressure and temperature, ensuring reliable oil flow and heat dissipation. The integrated thermostat and oil spacer simplify installation and maintain optimal oil temperature by preventing premature cooling. This thoughtful design reflects Perrin Performance’s commitment to quality and practical engineering tailored to Subaru enthusiasts who demand both performance and reliability.
For Subaru WRX owners running an FMIC setup, this top mount oil cooler offers a significant advantage by maintaining stable oil temperatures during spirited driving or track use. The compact, top-mounted design minimizes hose length and complexity, reducing potential failure points and maximizing cooling efficiency. This kit not only preserves the functional use of the hood scoop but also enhances the longevity and performance of your WRX’s engine oil system.
