Subject:      RE : Ticked Off at oil filter adaptors

        I wish they would design a thermostatically controlled sandwich
adaptor that allows oil to flow through the filter before going to the
cooler then back to the engine.

If you go to the Pep Boys and look in the section for transmission oil
coolers they sell an engine oil cooler kit that comes with a
thermostatic bypass plate and numerous adaptors to fit different oil
filter threads. I installed one of these on my G60 Corrado a few years
back and it worked great you could watch the oil temp decrease on my
autometer gauge when the thermostatic bypass opened up.
