You Know, everytime I see these sandwich plates I get really steamed.
        If one is simple adding pressure or temperature senders then
I don't mind, but if innocent people are adding oil coolers as the
companies suggest these adaptors are designed for then I get really
ticked off.
        The design always seems to push the oil through the cooler
first before reaching the filter and that's just bad science, period.
        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.
        The best way is to use adaptors that allow a remote oil filter system.
