Oil Coolers
Keeping your BMW's oil temperatures in check is just as vital as managing your coolant. High oil temps lead to decreased lubrication efficiency and, in extreme cases, limp mode or engine damage.
Is your oil temperature needle climbing toward the red during spirited drives or track sessions? Factory BMW oil coolers are often undersized for tuned engines, especially on the N54, N55, and S55 platforms. Our Performance Oil Cooler collection is designed to significantly increase the cooling surface area and fluid capacity of your lubrication system. By upgrading to a high-efficiency, bar-and-plate core, you can drop your operating temperatures by 15–30 degrees, ensuring your engine stays protected even under maximum boost. Don't let heat soak rob you of horsepower—keep your oil cool and your pressure stable with a professional-grade cooling solution.
Maximize your engine's longevity with our premium BMW Oil Cooler Collection. We stock specialized cooling hardware from top-tier brands like CSF, Mosselman, and Evolution Racewerks. This collection is essential for M-Series, 3-Series, and 1-Series owners in Canada and the USA who are pushing their vehicles beyond factory limits.
From dual-pass oil coolers for the E9X 335i to specialized S55/S58 upgrade kits, we provide the hardware necessary to maintain peak oil performance in any environment.
Key Oil Cooler Features
-
Increased Core Volume: Larger bar-and-plate cores provide significantly more cooling surface area than the thin factory tube-and-fin units.
-
Direct-Fit Engineering: Designed to utilize factory ducting and mounting locations for a clean, "OEM+" installation without extensive cutting.
-
Low Pressure Drop: High-flow internal designs ensure that the increased cooling capacity doesn't come at the expense of your engine's oil pressure.
-
Robust Construction: Fully TIG-welded aluminum end tanks and heavy-duty cores designed to withstand road debris and high-pressure environments.
-
Thermostat Options: We offer kits that include upgraded low-temperature thermostats to ensure your oil begins cooling earlier in the drive cycle.
Perfect For
-
Track & Drift Enthusiasts who need to maintain stable oil temperatures throughout long, high-RPM sessions at Mission Raceway or Rocky Mountain Motorsports.
-
Stage 2+ Tuned BMWs where increased turbocharger heat transfers directly into the engine oil, requiring more robust thermal management.
-
Towing & Heavy-Duty Use for X5 and X7 owners who need additional cooling capacity when hauling trailers through the Coquihalla mountain passes.
-
Summer Performance Driving in the Okanagan or Lower Mainland, where high ambient temperatures can quickly overwhelm a stock cooling setup.
Frequently Asked Question
Do I need a "Low-Temp" Oil Thermostat with my new cooler? For street-driven cars in colder climates like British Columbia, the factory thermostat is often sufficient. However, for dedicated performance builds or cars in hotter regions, an upgraded thermostat allows oil to flow to the cooler at a lower temperature (e.g., 90°C instead of 110°C). This provides a larger "thermal buffer," keeping your engine in the optimal performance window for longer.
