Engine Oil Cooler Adapter Aluminum for BMW E46 E61 Oil Filter Cover Cap
Upgrade your BMW with a lightweight, CNC machined aluminum oil cooler adapter that mounts at the front of the oil filter housing. Built to support BMW M52/M54/M56 engines across a broad range of models (E46, E39, E60, E61, X3, X5, Z3, Z4, and more), this adapter enables a practical external oil cooler without the need to replace the entire oil filter housing. A carefully designed sealing mechanism directs oil through the cooler lines and back through the oil filter, helping maintain stable oil temperatures during demanding driving conditions. The unit features two AN10 fittings and two 1/8" NPT ports, making it straightforward to add external sensors for oil temperature and oil pressure. Crafted from aluminum and anodized for durability, this adapter is designed for a clean, secure front-mount installation on the oil filter lid cap. Note: Only small modification required. Need to sand the intake manifold a little bit for installation!
