Winter will be here soon - starting to think oil cooler thermostats again

Take a look at the Canton unit. A little on the spendy side by a very good performer.

Too much bling in the Canton products for me.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The Canton unit is black and could be placed on the oil cooler side of the frame. The Bueamont unit is all polished and shiney, very blingy.

It is hard to tell from just a pic, but it just seems like it will look very out-of-place to me. It is also bigger, which doesn't help.

I think with a bit of steel wool I could matt down the Beaumont piece and it wouldn't be that noticeable being just a block of mono-alloy.

Doug, I think Chas. is right. If you're going to drive it at speeds over about 30mph, in temperatures below 50 degrees, I don't think you're going to get your oil up to temp even with no oil cooler at all. The oil pan itself is acting like a big oil cooler. I just don't think it's going to work.
