Installation Instructions:
Clean the block mounting surface area and then install the supplied gasket and oil cooler adapter block.
Install the oil cooler adapter bolts and tighten the bolts to 106 in-lbs (12 Nm).
Use thread sealing compound on the sensor or sensor plug threads along with the adapter block bolt
threads. If you are using this adapter on a vehicle that does not have an oil temperature sensor or has the
sensor mounted elsewhere, then you should plug the oil temperature sensor port with the supplied M12
plug and crush washer. If you are not using this adapter to supply oil to a turbocharger, supercharger or
other application then you should plug the 1/8” NPT port with the supplied fitting.
The oil temperature sensor port plug can be used to add an oil temperature sensor to vehicles that don’t
already have an oil temperature sensor and gauge. The temperature reading at this location will be the
engine out (pre-oil cooler) temperature.
Note - the oil cooler adapter is after the factory pan mounted oil filter in the production oil circuit so oil
going out to the oil cooler is filtered oil.
This oil cooler adapter is designed to be used with an external oil cooler. If you are not using an exter-
nal oil cooler LPE offers an adapter block kit with oil supply and sensor fittings that does not have the
external oil cooler lines (LPE part # L300015297).
WARNING: You can NOT plug the -10 oil lines on this adapter and run the engine. This adapter does
NOT have an internal bypass passage inside of it. You must connect the -10 lines to an oil cooler or
loop the lines back to the other port on the adapter or your engine will not have proper oil pressure and
will be damaged.
