AN10 Aluminum Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter With In Line Thermostat
The AN10 Aluminum Oil Filter Sandwich Adapter with integrated inline thermostat delivers precise thermal management for universal 4-cylinder engine builds. Machined from billet AL6061 aluminum, this compact unit consolidates multiple mounting points while maintaining unrestricted oil gallery pressure. The built-in thermostat engages at approximately 70–72°C (160°F), helping engines retain heat during initial warmup stages and actively regulating fluid temperature under sustained load. Its low-profile geometry slides easily into tight engine compartments where traditional remote cooler mounts cannot fit.
Performance Benefits & Installer Tips
- Eliminate excessive hose routing by combining filter mounting and thermal regulation into a single solid-block interface.
- Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before assembly to ensure the included Dowty seals create a complete leak prevention barrier.
- Allow 15–20 minutes of idle time in neutral after startup to confirm bypass valves cycle smoothly before applying full throttle.
