Mishimoto Thermostatic Black Oil Cooler Kit for 2013+ Ford Focus ST

Description

Oil temperature control: the Mishimoto Oil Cooler Thermostatic Black 13+ Ford Focus ST provides thermostatic oil cooling to reduce rapid oil overheating during aggressive driving, improving thermal stability and engine reliability.

Turbocharged, high-stress 4-cylinder engines like the 2.0L EcoBoost in the Focus ST can overheat their oil very quickly within a few laps on the track or during aggressive street driving. Even with the stock liquid-to-liquid head exchanger, the engine can still run very hot and risk accelerated oil degradation and component wear. This Mishimoto thermostatic oil cooler is designed to address that specific operating condition by controlling oil temperature when additional cooling is required.

Key features and why they matter

• Thermostatic control: engages cooling only when oil temperature rises above the set threshold, preserving oil temperature during warm‑up and providing consistent protection under sustained high load.
• Direct-fit for 2013+ Ford Focus ST: designed for OEM routing and mounting to simplify installation and maintain proper oil flow and pressure characteristics for the 2.0L EcoBoost platform.
• Black finish: durable exterior coating for corrosion resistance and a discreet, OEM-compatible appearance in the engine bay.
• Mishimoto engineering: developed by a brand known for thermal-management solutions, intended to complement the stock liquid‑to‑liquid exchanger and extend service life under track or high-load use.

Performance and operational benefits

• Reduces peak oil temperatures during repeated high-load cycles, helping to limit oil breakdown and maintain lubrication performance.
• Thermostatic operation prevents overcooling during normal driving, ensuring oil reaches optimal operating temperature more quickly after cold start.
• Designed to integrate with existing oil and coolant circuits on the specified vehicle application to preserve factory function while adding targeted cooling capacity.

This oil cooler is a targeted thermal-management upgrade for owners of the 2013+ Ford Focus ST who conduct track days or engage in aggressive driving and need controlled oil temperatures without altering normal warm-up behavior. The product leverages Mishimoto’s thermal expertise to provide a practical, reliability-focused solution for the 2.0L EcoBoost-equipped Focus ST.
