Thanks everyone for the replys I'll try covering the core and see what kind of results I get with that. I was just trying to find a solution that didn't require me to remove the bumper an additional two times a year, although I am getting quite fast with it. The 15 row Setrab core have is definitely oversized for what I use it for.
I am also running 5w30 oil, I may start returning to 0w20 during winter months. I might have not noticed this if it wasn't for having an oil presure sender. On cold starts I'm over 100PSI for atleast 5 min of idle. I still might just detach and plug the oil cooler lines and build a small bypass hose for the sandwich plate. Then I won't have heat the additional quart my oil cooler and hoses hold. |

Even stock with no oil cooler, it takes 6-7 minutes on the highway for my oil to get up to temp. I work at the airport, so I basically leave the parking lot, have a 1 mile drive, then I'm on the highway. |

@Indy_FRS as others have mentioned, cover it with a plate. I originally had my license plate on the grill but now I have it side mounted - I installed a black block off plate where the original plate mount was. Since I have a high-mounted oil cooler (JR), it basically covers the entire thing.

If you want to bypass the cooler instead of covering it, could you just detach the outlet hose from sandwich plate at the cooler and connect it to the inlet side of the SP? Then connect the hose from the outlet side of the cooler to the cooler's inlet? Hope this makes sense, it did in my head.

Look this is simple:
If you are running a thermostatic sandwich adapter plate, then it SHOULD warm up to the temp that the thermostat is set to and stay there in very cold weather. This is not good for long term driving as you want the oil to get above 212F at least occasionally to boil off the water. If you are running a sandwich adapter that is NOT thermostatic, then to disable it for the winter just: Unscrew the oil filter. Unscrew the Tstat plate and put in a ziplock bag & ziptie the plate off to the side. Screw the filter back on. Done. if you do this while the oil is fairly warm, it wont dump much oil into the bag. if you put it in, in the cold, then expect it to dump some oil out when the outside temps rise again. |

I just cap my lines and remove the sandwich plate when it started to get cold and the track closed. I don't mind doing it this way as I see a thermostat as just another thing to fail or leak.

Man, all I do is remove the thermostat all together from my Mishimoto plate as it is a normally open setup the lets most of the oil bypass the cooler, but when it gets hot it closes and that forces the oil through the core and around to the other side. It still takes up a little space in the bypass area, so I removed it all together for max bypass flow. The coldest my car has seen so far this year is -20C and it warms up fine.
