This may be good for cars in warm climates - but not so good for cars that drive in cold climates

Here in PA even though still November, it was 9 Deg this morning when I left for work - I don't want my oil flowing to the cooler immediately.

I'll have to pick one of these up for install in the spring
Agree 100%

Open flow to oil cooler in cold climes is far from desirable.

Either M'man upgrade and $$$ or BMS drop in bypass spring thru fall and retrofit oem stat in the winter....
