Mishimoto Universal 10-Row Stacked Plate Fluid Cooler – -6AN | Silver

Keep your engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, or power steering fluid in its optimal operating temperature range with the Mishimoto Universal 10-Row Stacked Plate Fluid Cooler. Engineered for universal fitment with brazed -6AN inlet and outlet fittings, eight universal mounting holes, and a 10-row stacked plate design for substantial heat transfer, this cooler is the straightforward solution for any build requiring ancillary fluid cooling. Available in silver, black, or gold powder coat — backed by Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty.

Key Features:

• 10-row stacked plate design — high-efficiency stacked plate heat exchanger for substantial heat transfer and effective fluid temperature reduction
• Brazed -6AN inlet and outlet fittings — leak-free brazed AN fittings for secure, reliable connections to -6AN braided hose lines
• Universal fitment — 8 universal mounting holes provide an abundance of mounting options for virtually any vehicle or application
• Multi-fluid compatible — suitable for engine oil, transmission fluid, gear oil, and power steering fluid cooling applications
• Silver powder coat finish — durable, corrosion-resistant silver finish
• Also available in black and gold powder coat finishes
• Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty — backed by Mishimoto’s signature Lifetime Warranty

Performance Benefits:

• Fluid Temperature Reduction: The 10-row stacked plate design provides substantial heat transfer surface area, effectively reducing fluid temperatures in engine oil, transmission, differential, and power steering applications — bringing fluid temperatures back into the optimal operating range for proper lubrication and reduced wear
• Extended Fluid and Component Life: Maintaining fluid temperatures within the designed operating range ensures proper lubrication viscosity and reduces the accelerated wear and degradation that occurs when fluids overheat — extending the service life of the engine, transmission, differential, and associated components
• High-Stress Application Support: Extensively modified vehicles and builds used in high-stress driving conditions (track days, towing, off-road, performance driving) are particularly susceptible to exceeding factory fluid temperature limits — an ancillary cooler is the most direct solution for bringing temperatures back under control
• Leak-Free Brazed Fittings: Brazed -6AN fittings provide a permanent, leak-free connection between the cooler and the fluid lines — eliminating the risk of fitting loosening or leaking under vibration and thermal cycling
• Versatile Mounting: Eight universal mounting holes allow the cooler to be positioned for maximum airflow in virtually any installation location — front-mount, side-mount, or remote-mount configurations

Compatibility & Fitment:

• Universal fitment — compatible with any vehicle or application using -6AN fluid lines

• 8 universal mounting holes accommodate a wide range of mounting locations and orientations
• Note: This cooler requires -6AN braided hoses and -6AN aluminum fittings for a complete installation — pair with Mishimoto’s -6AN Braided Hoses and -6AN Aluminum Fittings for a matched installation

What’s Included:

• Mishimoto 10-row -6AN stacked plate fluid cooler – silver (MMOC-10-6SL)
• Mounting hardware

Installation Notes:

• -6AN braided hoses and -6AN aluminum fittings are required for installation — not included; sold separately
• Mount the cooler in a location with adequate airflow — front-mount positions behind the bumper opening or in front of the radiator are common choices for maximum cooling efficiency
• Ensure the cooler is positioned to receive airflow when the vehicle is moving — a cooler with no airflow provides minimal heat rejection
• Use thread sealant on all fitting connections to ensure leak-free operation
• Flush the cooler before installation to remove any manufacturing debris
• Check all connections for leaks after installation before returning the vehicle to service
• An oil cooler thermostat is recommended for engine oil cooling applications to prevent the oil from running too cold during warm-up — cold oil is thicker and provides less effective lubrication than oil at operating temperature

Why Add an Ancillary Fluid Cooler?

Every fluid in your vehicle — engine oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, power steering fluid — is designed to operate within a specific temperature and pressure range for optimal lubrication and protection. When a vehicle is extensively modified, used for track driving, towing, or other high-stress applications, it’s easy to exceed the factory fluid temperature limits. Above these limits, fluid viscosity drops, lubrication effectiveness decreases, and wear accelerates — shortening the service life of expensive components. An ancillary fluid cooler is the most direct and cost-effective solution: it adds heat rejection capacity to the fluid system, bringing temperatures back into the optimal range without requiring major system modifications.

Stacked Plate vs. Tube-and-Fin Coolers:

Stacked plate heat exchangers use a series of flat plates with internal flow channels that maximize the contact surface area between the fluid and the cooler’s exterior. Compared to tube-and-fin designs, stacked plate coolers provide more heat transfer surface area in a compact package, making them more efficient per unit of size. Mishimoto’s 10-row stacked plate design delivers substantial heat rejection in a compact, universally mountable package — suitable for a wide range of fluid cooling applications.

Why Mishimoto?

Mishimoto is one of the most recognized names in performance cooling components, with a comprehensive lineup of aluminum radiators, intercoolers, oil coolers, silicone hoses, and cooling accessories for import and domestic performance vehicles. Their universal fluid cooler lineup is engineered for reliability and versatility — backed by Mishimoto’s Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind.

Perfect For:

• Engine oil cooling on track day, performance, and high-output builds where oil temperatures exceed the factory system’s capacity
• Transmission fluid cooling on modified automatics and manuals subjected to high-stress driving conditions
• Differential fluid cooling on performance and off-road builds where sustained high loads generate excessive heat
• Power steering fluid cooling on builds running high-performance steering systems
• Any build requiring a compact, universal, -6AN ancillary fluid cooler with a clean silver finish

Pro Tip: For engine oil cooling applications, pair with an oil cooler thermostat to prevent the oil from running too cold during warm-up and in cold ambient conditions. Cold engine oil is thicker and provides less effective lubrication than oil at operating temperature — a thermostat ensures the cooler only activates when the oil is already at operating temperature, maintaining optimal oil temperature in all conditions.

Note: -6AN braided hoses and -6AN aluminum fittings are required for installation and are sold separately. Pair with Mishimoto’s -6AN Braided Hoses and -6AN Aluminum Fittings for a complete, matched installation. Also available in black and gold powder coat finishes.
