Vibrant Thermostatic Oil Cooler Sandwich Adapter w/Thermostat - M22x1.5 for GM LS Engines

The Vibrant Thermostatic Oil Cooler Sandwich Adapter (17065) threads between the engine block and oil filter on M22x1.5 applications like GM LS-series engines. Its built-in thermostat starts opening at 185°F to send hot oil through your cooler while bypassing it during warmup for quicker engine heat-up. This design delivers stable oil temperatures to protect bearings and reduce wear during track or street driving.

Key Features

  • Integrated Thermostat: Activates at 185°F for controlled flow to the cooler preventing overcooling and maintaining ideal viscosity
  • CNC Billet Aluminum Construction: Lightweight at 1 lb yet strong enough for high-pressure oil systems up to 300 PSI
  • Black Anodized Finish: Resists corrosion and withstands extreme engine bay heat and road contaminants
  • Dual -10AN Female Ports: High-flow outlets support powerful pumps and large cooler cores without restriction
  • Complete Kit Contents: Includes O-rings, gasket and hardware for direct bolt-on installation without extra parts

Product Notes

  • Confirm M22x1.5 oil filter thread on your engine block before ordering
  • Pair with Vibrant -AN hoses and bar-and-plate cooler cores for full system efficiency
  • Store in dry area to preserve seals and anodizing

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Apply thread sealant to AN fittings and torque adapter to 25 ft-lbs
  • Compatible with spin-on oil filters. mount cooler above oil level if possible
