Although not on an FE I am considering installing a thermostat in my oiling system but question (?) the volume of oil they can safely flow. I have only been able to find Canton, Perma-cool, and Mocal. What others are out there? I am unable to use a sandwich type due to space available, so it must be an inline type. As an alternative, I have been looking at some manually controlled diverter/bypass valves that could be plumbed and effectively bypass the cooler until proper temps are reached. Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this. The Jury is still out. Opinions please.

Thanks
Rick
