Engine Oil Cooler Adapter Aluminum for BMW E46 E36 E39 E60 E61
Upgrade your BMW's cooling system with this CNC-machined aluminum oil cooler adapter. Designed for M52, M54, and M56 engines, this part lets you connect an external oil cooler without replacing your entire oil filter housing. You gain better temperature control and longer engine life while keeping the simplicity of your existing setup.
The adapter replaces your stock oil filter lid and offers two AN10 connections for cooler lines. Two additional 1/8"NPT ports allow you to install accurate sensors for oil temperature or pressure monitoring. The anodized aluminum build ensures the component remains lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion under the hood.
Routine driving rarely stresses oil temps, but spirited laps, towing, or summer traffic can push your engine into dangerous heat ranges. Adding a remote cooler helps draw excess heat away fast, preventing oil breakdown and maintaining consistent lubrication. This adapter fits seamlessly into the process, turning your standard filtration point into a robust cooling hub.
Benefits & Tips

- Monitor Critical Fluids Tap into the built-in 1/8"NPT sockets to read real-time oil stats without drilling new holes in your engine.
