Maintain Optimal Oil Temperatures & Protect Your Performance V8 Engine
Prevent premature bearing wear and safeguard your high-performance LS or LSX engine from thermal breakdown. While racing or high-vibration drift events require an auxiliary oil cooler, running a standard non-thermostatic adapter can cause your engine oil to run too cold in street driving, delaying the critical warmup cycle.
Our premium CNC-machined Billet Aluminum Thermostatic Oil Cooler Adapter is engineered as a direct bolt-on upgrade above your oil filter. Featuring a built-in high-performance thermostat that remains closed until oil temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit (82°C), it allows your engine to quickly warm up to safe operating temperatures before routing the oil to the cooler. Designed with an ultra-low profile to clear aftermarket exhaust headers, and equipped with a heavy-duty metal-bonded rubber gasket, this adapter ensures maximum clearance and zero-leak reliability.
Key Features:
Precise 180°F (82°C) Thermostat: Remains closed during warmup and opens gradually to allow full, unimpeded flow to the cooler once optimal temperature is reached.
High-Flow / Low-Profile Design: Precision-machined oil ports maximize fluid volume to reduce pressure drop. The slim casting fits tightly against the block, avoiding exhaust header clearance issues.
CNC-Machined Billet Aluminum: Machined from aircraft-grade T6061-T6 solid aluminum with an anodized black finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
Complete Leak-Proof Gasket & Hardware: Comes fully equipped with a metal-carrier rubber-bonded gasket, two AN10 male fittings, and stainless steel mounting bolts for an immediate install.
