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

Does this mean that on short trips it won't try to overly cool your oil?
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
