Peter:
I doubt that the big three supply different products here... I think they
all sell the Mocal adapter. I'm very pleased with mine. I use Purolator
PER-64 with no apparent troubles. Originally I purchased the adapter with
the oil cooler fittings, although I did not have an oil cooler. I ran one
of the oil cooler hoses that was supplied with the kit from inlet to outlet
fitting in a big loop. Eventually, this extra hose flopping around in the
engine bay became an annoyance, so I eliminated it. I use Mobil 1
synthetic, so adding an oil cooler would be somewhat useless unless I was
racing, especially given the expense involved. So, I decided that I would
NEVER have an oil cooler, so I drilled the adapter out internally to
by-pass the oil cooler fittings and had a friend make up plug fittings out
of the fittings that were on the adapter.
Just an interesting adapter story I thought I'd share!
