don't most oil coolers come with a thermostat in the adapter plate? it definitely looks like a quality piece though, and I wouldn't expect anything less for that price tag too. I'm curious what those plates are for though. they look nice

the thermostat opens when the oil reaches a certain temperature in order to start cooling the oil. however, many people state that even with the thermostat closed, there is still a slight flow of oil through the cooler so most people just block it off during the winter so the oil reaches temp easier
