Oil Cooler Element, 72 Plate Mesa Style, with Electric Fan

Maximum Thermal Management with the EMPI 72-Plate Mesa Style Oil Cooler

When it comes to high-performance air-cooled Volkswagen engines, heat is the ultimate enemy. Whether you are running a high-compression street engine, a turbo setup, or a rugged off-road beast, the factory oil cooling system often falls short of the demands placed upon it. The EMPI 72-Plate Mesa Style Oil Cooler Element with Electric Fan is the definitive solution for drivers who demand consistent oil temperatures regardless of the environment. This ultra-rugged, competition-grade cooler features a massive 72-plate design that maximizes the surface area available for heat dissipation. Unlike traditional tube-and-fin coolers that can be fragile and less efficient, the Mesa style (also known as a stacked plate) design is incredibly durable and built to handle the high pressures associated with performance oil pumps. This ensures that your engine oil stays within the optimal operating range, preserving its viscosity and protecting your expensive engine internals from premature wear.

What truly sets this kit apart is the integrated 12-volt high-velocity electric fan. In the world of air-cooled VWs, air movement is everything. While a standard external cooler relies on vehicle speed to force air through the plates, this unit provides active cooling that works even when the vehicle is stationary. This is a total game-changer for those stuck in heavy stop-and-go summer traffic or for off-road enthusiasts crawling through technical trails where vehicle speed is low but engine load and heat production are at their peak. By adding this active cooling component, you eliminate the risk of heat soak and ensure that your cooling capacity isn''t tethered to your speedometer. At Appletree Auto, we know that reliability is the key to enjoying your classic Volkswagen, and this EMPI cooler kit delivers the high-end thermal management needed to push your engine to its absolute limits without fear of overheating.
