Universal 7 Plate Oil Cooler 10AN

The Universal 7 Plate Oil Cooler 10AN from Northern Radiator is a critical upgrade for any high-performance vehicle or modified engine that generates sustained heat under load. Whether you're running a turbocharged build, aggressive street tuning, track applications, or simply want to extend oil life and engine longevity, this aluminum plate-and-fin cooler effectively manages oil temperature by dissipating heat through a series of stacked plates. Keeping oil temperatures in the optimal 180–210°F range prevents viscosity breakdown, protects internal engine components, and maintains film strength under extreme conditions—essential when stock cooling capacity falls short.

This cooler features a compact seven-plate aluminum core design with 10AN inlet and outlet ports, allowing flexible plumbing integration into most custom cooling loops. The stacked-plate construction maximizes surface area for efficient heat transfer while maintaining a lightweight footprint—just 1.61 lbs—making it ideal for engine bays where space or weight savings matter. Northern Radiator's proven engineering ensures reliable performance across temperature swings and high-flow applications typical of modified engines. The 10AN fittings are industry-standard, compatible with -10 hose and adapters commonly used in automotive cooling systems, custom fuel systems, and transmission cooler installations.

This universal oil cooler suits street cars, drift builds, road-race platforms, and any enthusiast-level engine modification where oil temps climb beyond factory control. Proper installation requires routing oil feed from a thermostat housing or sandwich adapter into the cooler inlet, then returning to the pan or filter housing; always ensure adequate flow and use quality 10AN hose rated for your oil pressure. Pair this cooler with a quality oil thermostat to prevent flow during cold starts, protecting engine reliability. Compact dimensions (5 x 2.5 x 13 inches) make mounting feasible in most engine bays with minimal fabrication.
