FYI, you can test for leaks without driving. You just need to peak out the oil pressure by reving up the motor above 3k RPM. Test that way before driving.
On a side note the new adapter appears to have O-Ring fittings and not a machined surface for a banjo and crush washers. Am I missing something? |

Manufactured in-house Stateside or foreign made under contract?
Not trolling here... genuinely curious. "Our own" has lost all meaning with so many parts being made overseas. Quote:

i am glad that OP got replacement and fixed issues. i onced ordered Mishimoto Thermostat for my RSX-S when i upgraded radiator to Koyo long time ago. part# was correct but it just didn't fit right when i compared to OEM one. I couldnt wait for replacement so had to return it. (no problem with returning!) I also heard Mishimoto customer service was good but sound like this Pat guy is an ass.

Now back in 2004 when I started Element Tuning, I made a huge effort to manufacture a number of parts in the USA but it was like pulling teeth and many US manufactures weren't as eager to do business as overseas factories. Lazy, arrogant, call it what you want but I ended up with overseas manufacturing because they made it easy for me. Fast forward a few years when the economy tanked, volume slowed down, and the next thing I know my designs are re-branded and sold. Luckily all of a sudden American manufacturers were hungry and eager to do business again and now the majority of what we make/sell is manufactured in the USA. Anyways I've always had good luck with Mishimoto radiators and intercoolers so hopefully the oil cooler stuff is sorted out. |

MISHIMOTO OIL COOLER IS A FIRE HAZARD!!
I fully agree 100% with 37 on the 90 degree fittings being a far better and reliable solution.

Just wanted to say I had te exact same problems installing my kit on Friday. After reading all te info on this thread and talking to mishimoto it's installed leak free. Te real pitta was ripping everything apart including under panels to degrease them lol. My engine bay is noticeablely cooler when I pop the hood.
