Description
Take control of your BMW’s oil temperatures with the Mosselman Oil Thermostat S55, a precision-engineered upgrade designed to solve one of the S55 engine’s most common problems — excessive oil temperature.
The factory thermostat typically allows oil to reach 120°C during normal driving. The Mosselman Thermostat opens much earlier, at 85°C, keeping oil temperatures stable between 95°C and 105°C, depending on driving conditions. This results in more consistent performance and, most importantly, greater engine reliability, particularly for tuned or high-performance cars.
Available in Blue, Red, or Black, the Mosselman Oil Thermostat combines functionality with style and is also available for N54 and N55 engines.
Key Features
20°C Lower Operating Temperature
Maintains oil temps 20°C cooler than stock, reducing thermal stress and extending engine life.
Real Thermostat Design
Equipped with an actual thermostat that regulates flow — not a permanently open bypass — ensuring proper warm-up times in both hot and cold climates.
Rock Solid Housing
Machined from a solid block of high-grade aluminum at Mosselman’s own facility for maximum durability and reliability.
Plug-and-Play Installation
Quick and easy to install in about 30 minutes with no permanent modifications required.
Optional Installation Kit
For best results and leak prevention, use the Mosselman Oil Thermostat Installation Kit, which includes:
- 2x O-rings for the oil hose
- 1x rubber oil filter housing gasket
Why Upgrade?
The S55 engine (found in BMW M2, M3, and M4 models) is notorious for running hot under spirited or track driving. Installing the Mosselman Oil Thermostat lowers operating temperatures, stabilizes oil pressure, and helps preserve engine components — a must-have upgrade for tuned or performance-oriented builds.
Compatibility:
- BMW M3 F80 430–460hp
- BMW M4 F82/F83 430–460hp
- BMW M2 Competition F87 410hp
