{"product_id":"racing-oil-cooler-thermostat","title":"Racing Oil Cooler Thermostat","description":"The Improved Racing FSM-165 is a universal remote engine oil cooler thermostat engineered for high-performance vehicles. It addresses the issue of oil overcooling in systems with large oil coolers, which can lead to delayed engine warm-up, horsepower loss, and increased engine wear. By intelligently bypassing the oil cooler until the oil reaches an optimal operating temperature, this thermostat ensures efficient performance and longevity.\n\nConstructed from 6061-T6 billet aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, the FSM-165 is designed for reliability. Its unique internal design places the bypass valve mechanism out of the direct oil flow when closed, minimizing pressure drop. This thermostat begins to open at 180°F (82°C) and is fully open by 200°F (93°C), making it ideal for transmission and differential fluid cooling. It is also rebuildable, allowing for easy servicing and potential temperature rating changes with available kits.\n\nThe FSM-165 features universal applications and is available with fittings for -8AN or -10AN lines. Included mounting brackets offer flexibility for various installation configurations. This device helps reduce excessive engine wear and horsepower losses by preventing fluid temperatures from dropping below optimal levels, and can also contribute to improved gas mileage.","brand":"Improved","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688794714424,"sku":"FSM-165","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662669949.webp?v=1784896177","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/racing-oil-cooler-thermostat","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
