Universal 10 Plate Oil Cooler 10AN

The Universal 10 Plate Oil Cooler 10AN from Northern Radiator is a compact aluminum fluid cooling solution engineered for custom engine builds, performance vehicles, and industrial applications requiring efficient thermal management. This stack-plate design delivers controlled cooling without excessive pressure drop, making it ideal for systems where maintaining stable operating temperatures is critical to performance and longevity.

The 10-plate aluminum construction maximizes heat dissipation surface area while keeping weight minimal at 2.8 lbs. Dual 10AN male inlet and outlet ports provide secure, standardized AN connections for reliable hydraulic and coolant lines. The stack-plate configuration creates multiple internal passages that separate hot and cold fluid streams, allowing efficient temperature exchange without the cost and complexity of bar-and-plate designs. Natural aluminum finish resists corrosion in most environments while remaining compatible with various coolant and hydraulic fluids, though users should verify fluid compatibility for specific applications.

This cooler suits builders and technicians working on custom engine swaps, turbocharged systems, high-horsepower applications, and any setup where engine or transmission oil temperatures exceed safe operating ranges. The universal mounting design accommodates custom fabrication, allowing integration into tight engine bays or purpose-built cooling circuits. Its compact footprint—measuring 7.6 × 2.2 × 14.15 inches—fits demanding spaces where traditional coolers prove too large, making it popular in both automotive and marine cooling systems.

Northern Radiator's stack-plate coolers are recognized for straightforward construction and reliable performance across performance applications. The 10-plate design represents a practical balance between cooling capacity and pressure characteristics, suitable for most forced-induction and naturally aspirated builds operating below extreme flow rates. Proper line sizing and coolant velocity management ensure the cooler performs as intended without cavitation or excessive backpressure.
