Polished Horizontally Mounted Thermostatically Controlled Engine Oil Filter Mount
Maintaining proper engine oil temperature has become critical to the
success or failure of today’s performance marine engines. Prolonged use of
marine engines in conditions where oil cannot reach its optimum working
temperatures will result in sludge formation and crankcase dilution which
leads to excessive wear especially in the cylinder bores and bearing
surfaces. A thermostat assembly combats this by permitting 90% of the
engines oil to bypass the cooler during warm up. The balance of the oil
flow is allowed to flow through the cooler maintaining constant pressure
and preventing air pockets while eliminating cold oil shock. This reduces
scuffing and premature wear and inhibits engine blow-by. As engine oil
temperature reaches its optimum operating temperature moisture and
impurities that often cause a milky condition are eliminated.
With this unit all oil temperature is now controlled through a integral 212
degree oil thermostat. The large -12 O-Ring style port fitting oil
inlets/outlets assure the maximum amount of oil can be flowed through the
unit. Accepts either: FRAM *HP4 / HP6 style Oil Filter *
