Ls series engines are powerful, reliable machines, but high oil temperatures can be problematic.
To cool the massive engine of the GTO, we selected our largest oil cooler for the task.
The 25-row stacked-plate cooler will effectively maintain oil at an optimal temperature.
On the other end of this oil cooler kit for the GTO is a specially designed oil line adapter that bolts to the oil filter housing for the attachment of our -an stainless steel lines.
The tight space restrictions eliminated the option of using a thermostatic sandwich plate, which we typically use on most of our other direct-fit oil cooler kits.
Instead, our in-line oil thermostat regulates oil temperatures.
This meticulously designed thermostat mounts under the headlight using its own direct-fit bracket and ensures your oil stays at a consistent 185 degrees.
During the testing of this GTO oil cooler, the in-line thermostat was not utilized to eliminate it as a regulating variable.
This means oil continuously flowed through the cooler during testing, and these tests indicated a 65-degree oil temperature drop.
This significant drop demonstrates the cooling capabilities of this GTO oil cooler kit.
Like all of Mishimoto's GTO parts, this kit includes the Mishimoto lifetime warranty to ensure your oil temperatures remain optimal.
