LS oil cooler adapter w/thermostate
Anyone tried the MOCAL LS oil cooler line adapter with thermostat? Seems a good solution to the big oil cooler/low oil temp issues of running a race cooler on the street.

I have one sitting in my shop right now, waiting for me to finish putting the rest of the oil cooler package together. I will post some pictures and impressions up on here when i get it installed.

One more piece to have an issue with and more fittings in the system. Just cover the heat exchanger with cardboard or make a fancy metal cover for cold weather use.

No more money than the standard AN fitting adapter. might as well run a stat.

Ahhh... I see now... pretty nice. A few years back a company tired to make an adapter block with an integrated T-stat but it wouldn't clear any LT headers so it never really caught on. This looks compact.
In my car I run a LS4 high volume pump so I never see the LOW OIL PRESSURE warning for a split second like I used to when I had a stock pump and an oil cooler.

I also live in S Cal with a C5Z and just wrap my DRM Track Oil Cooler in tin foil for street driving and getting to the track. I maintain 185 on freeways and have no issue hitting 200 on the street.
I am local in Thousand Oaks area if you ever want to take a look.
How did you make out with your wheels ?

As for wheels, I purchased two sets of C5Z wheels (Speedline and Alcoa) and will offload the 17"s. Right now I'm back and forth over tires, R888 or 555RII's.

I use the following MOCAL oil thermostat:
It is their 200 degree F version.
Although I am not a fan of using the fitting on the side of the block for an oil cooler, I am pleased to see MOCAL has made 200 degrees F the set point for the adapter.
