MMX Performance BMW N54 / N55 Low Temperature Oil Thermostat
$70.94
The MMX Performance BMW N54 / N55 Low Temperature Oil Thermostat is a billet replacement for the factory oil thermostat, designed to regulate oil temperature within MMX's specified operating range of 90°C to 110°C.
Engine oil is formulated to work within a defined temperature range. As power output rises and the vehicle spends more time at sustained load, oil temperature rises with it, and the lubricant operates further from the range it was designed around. The thermostat governs when oil is routed through the cooling circuit, which is the point in the system where that temperature is controlled.
The thermostat operates within the vehicle's existing oil cooling circuit and does not replace the oil cooler. It changes how oil temperature is regulated rather than adding cooling capacity, and cooling requirements can vary depending on vehicle configuration, power level, operating conditions, and track use.
The thermostat is machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in the proprietary MMX dark anthracite finish. It installs into the OE oil thermostat housing found on the N54 and N55, and the kit is supplied complete with the components required for the installation.
The same housing accepts two related MMX parts. The MMX billet oil thermostat housing cover kit replaces the factory plastic cover and caps, and the MMX oil temperature and pressure gauge adaptor replaces the OE plug on the same assembly with a 1/8 NPT port for a sender.
