Joel,

What the guys are saying about over cooling the oil is for real. The trick is getting a good but also high flow T-Stat for the oil. While there have been a number of alternatives, the combination of good and high flow have always been tough to achieve.

A while back I discovered this unit and it is pretty impressive. It checks both the good and high flow boxes and puts another checkmark in the fair priced check box. This is what it looks like;

I don't remember anymore but I want to say when I bought mine they were closer to $200. The current price is $169 which is a steal.

The fit, finish, and workmanship is stunningly good and there are various opening temps up to 215˚F. I like the 215˚ T-Stat because it keeps the oil above the vapor point for water, which is always nice.
