Product Details

This HKS Universal R Type Oil Cooler kit includes the W197 oil cooler itself, which features a 12-layer core and a black finish. It's designed to help manage engine oil temperatures, which is crucial for maintaining consistent performance and protecting your engine, especially under demanding conditions. Keeping oil within its optimal temperature range helps prevent breakdown and ensures proper lubrication.

The R Type cooler is a well-known design from HKS, recognized for its effectiveness in dissipating heat. The 12-layer core provides a substantial surface area for heat exchange, allowing the oil to cool down efficiently as it passes through. This is particularly important for performance vehicles or those that see frequent track use, where oil temperatures can rise significantly. The black finish offers a stealthy look under the hood.

Because this is a universal kit, careful planning and custom fabrication will be necessary for installation. You'll need to determine the best mounting location and route the oil lines appropriately for your specific vehicle. This often involves sourcing additional fittings, adapters, and mounting hardware to ensure a secure and leak-free setup. Consulting with a professional installer or referring to HKS's technical documentation for universal oil cooler installations is highly recommended to achieve the best results.
