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

Fabrication

Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
