HEL Direct Fit Oil Cooler Kit for Honda Civic (FK8) Type R – HOCK-HON-008
Unlike the FK2 Civic Type R, there was not a great deal of room to fit an oil cooler in direct air flow, without either blocking the intercooler or trying to squeeze a cooler behind the front grill – which would limit the useful area of the cooler to around 5 rows, the rest hidden behind the bumper.
The oil cooler ducting is laser cut from sheet aluminium before being bent to exact tolerance to fit the front left of the car. The ducting is hard anodised black to give long term protection.
HEL Performance design and manufacture braided lines, AN hose fittings and oil system parts in the UK for road, track and motorsport use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a thermostat?
A thermostat stops oil flowing through the cooler until it reaches temperature, so the engine warms up quickly and is not over-cooled in cold weather.
Will this fit my car?
Direct fit kits are made for the vehicles listed in the title. Check the engine and model years before ordering.
Is professional fitting recommended?
Yes. Oil system work affects engine lubrication, so we recommend fitting by a qualified technician and checking for leaks before driving.
