I second the suggestion of the adapter from Greg, with the right conditions
you will blow the cooler apart, Greg's design, worth the money. I would
have questioned this until it happened to me.I ran for 5 years on another
supplier and then it happened, luckily I had an adapter to bypass the
cooler and connect the oil lines together, one of those things that you are
glad you have it at the track ! What a mess that was !
