Features:
- Prolongs life of engine oil, reducing number of necessary changes
- Improves overall functioning and performance of engine
- Cools effectively through use of tube-fin core
- Designed with copper tubing expanded into aluminum fins for maximum heat transfer
- Copper is the best material for conducting the heat out of the fluid while aluminum is ideal for transferring and dissipating that heat
- Provides external lines, via sandwich adapter, for simple installation of oil cooler without having to reposition oil filter
- Includes:
- Tube-and-fin cooler core
- Sandwich adapter
- High-temperature, high-pressure rubber hose with stainless steel clamps
- Brass hose-barb adapters
- Multiple sleeve nuts to ensure proper thread size
- Complete mounting kit
- Made in USA

Perhaps the simplest type of heat exchanger, the tube-fin effectively cools a variety of automotive systems. The concept is simple: Fluid cools as it travels through the core by transferring heat out to the fins. The fins then provide the surface area necessary for sufficient heat exchange to take place, allowing the heat pulled from the fluid to dissipate into the surrounding air. The result is longer-lasting oil and a better-functioning engine.
The sandwich adapter in this kit provides the external oil lines necessary to install a cooler without requiring you to move the factory spin-on oil filter, making it even easier to extend the life of your vehicle's engine. In addition, the thermostatic bypass feature allows oil cooler than 180 degrees to bypass the heat exchanger, so your engine will warm up faster.
