What I want to know is if the stock oil warmer/cooler receives any coolant flow while the thermostat is closed. Cause if it doesn't then its not actually warming up the oil until the coolant is above 180 which means its really isn't doing t great of a job at warming.

But I do like the oil cooler sandwich adaptor idea.
