Mosselman (MSL) F-Series BMW Oil Thermostat N54 / N55 / S55
MOSSELMAN OIL THERMOSTAT (MSL)
Includes gasket, O-rings, and titanium bolts. VIN required to confirm fitment.
The N54, N55, and S55 engines run hot from factory—often hitting ~120°C in normal driving. The MSL Oil Thermostat lowers the opening temperature to ~85°C, keeping oil temps stable in the 95–105°C range depending on model.
This means:
-
Lower oil temps
-
More consistent performance
-
Better long-term engine reliability
Especially important for tuned or track-driven cars.
Why MSL vs. “always-open” solutions?
This thermostat is a real thermostat—not permanently open. Your engine still reaches proper operating temp in cold weather. CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum for durability.
