However, through extensive road testing and durability evaluation, HKS has identified a key weakness: oil temperature tends to rise rapidly under high-load driving conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo address this, HKS have refined the proven cooling layout from the FK8, utilizing the left front fender location while redesigning the system to match the characteristics of the FL5. Considering coolant temperature and A\/C performance, the oil cooler core has been positioned for maximum thermal efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind tunnel testing confirmed that airflow from the OEM front bumper alone is insufficient for optimal cooling. Therefore, a newly developed large air duct and dedicated air guide were designed specifically for the FL5 to deliver a strong supply of fresh air directly to the oil cooler core. This maximizes the performance potential of the system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only air intake but also evacuation of heated air was fully optimized. Through repeated aerodynamic testing, we ensured smooth discharge of air after it passes through the core, achieving the ideal airflow balance for the complete system. An outlet plate is included to protect the core from rock damage. As a result, oil temperature rise is significantly reduced even under demanding environments such as circuit driving, allowing the FL5 to maintain stable peak performance over extended periods.

With an ambient temperature of 26°C, the oil temperature remains stable at around 125°C even during continuous high-load driving. In contrast, the stock system exceeds 140°C without reaching a stable temperature range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy positioning the core inside the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eleft front wheel well area\u003c\/strong\u003e, which does not obstruct the radiator airflow,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ecoolant temperature is also reduced by 3–5°C\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the engine to consistently deliver stable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECH SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReduced oil temperatures\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eModification to the bumper and splash shield\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is required for installing the ducts.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes resin-moulded air ducts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEstimated installation time: 6 hrs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil Cooler Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir Duct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir Intake Duct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore Protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 Oil Hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermostat Housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFittings \/ Hardware\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPATIBLE VEHICLES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHonda Civic Type R | FL5 2.0T K20C1 | 2023+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFITTING DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDream Automotive offers in-house fitting on all products at our workshop in Luton, Bedfordshire.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAVAILABILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-height--inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"max-height--inner-content rte product-short-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6-12 WEEKS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HKS","offers":[{"title":"Unpainted","offer_id":56748720259455,"sku":"HKS-15004-AH105","price":1236.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dry Carbon","offer_id":56748720292223,"sku":"HKS-15004-AH105+15999-AH001","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0881\/0870\/files\/HKSFL5OilCooler2.webp?v=1773912498","url":"https:\/\/www.dream-automotive.com\/de\/products\/hks-oil-cooler-kit-honda-civic-type-r-fl5-2-0t-k20c1-2023","provider":"Dream Automotive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
