Aftermarket oil cooler for om606. Sandwich plate necessary? - 606110 - 05-22-2018
Is a thermostatic sandwich plate necessary for using a larger oil cooler with the om606 or do peope just add fittings to the end of the existing oil lines to/from the filter assembly?
Thanks

What you are asking isn't entirely clear. The oil filter block has a built in thermostatic switch. There were a number of different oil filter + cooler designs for the OM606a. If your filter has hoses, then the flow should already be thermostatically controlled. The factory coolers seem well sized for the oil line size. Adding a bigger cooler may not make much of a difference. You could add a more powerful fan if you think that the cooling is insufficient.

Yoshifab has AN10 fittings that go into the original oil lines from the filter. Then you can use any cooler you want.
