A high-output engine in a cramped engine compartment can generate a lot of heat, even without a supercharger. Not only do high engine temperatures contribute to lubricant breakdown, they also contribute to shorter engine component life. A properly installed oil cooler will give your car extra thermal reserve to keep heat under control during periods of peak demand. Our sandwich plates return oil to the engine when it's below 180 degrees, allowing the engine to warm up quickly. Once warm, the thermostat opens, and the oil flows to the cooler to keep temperatures within the ideal range.
Sandwich plates provide a convenient means of getting engine oil to and from the oil cooler.
They mount between the oil filter and the oil filter mount, hence the name. Our sandwich plates are supplied with special aircraft fittings to make leakproof connections a snap. Autotech's Sandwich Plate is compact, very important in the often cramped VW engine compartment. Fittings attached are -10AN male. Comes complete with o-ring.
