2v stock oil cooler

[Notthenow]

Hey anyone know how effective the stock 2v oil cooler that is part of the oil filter adapter is at cooling oil? I can put it back on or use the standard adapter.

Thanks, Mike

you can bypass it with a different adapter plate and a different lower radiator hose. I kept mine when the gasket needed replacement. It probably doesn't do much honestly.

Thanks, I do have a non-cooler adapter. I took mine apart to change the inner o ring seals an found it was leaking because the body had a pinhole in it. The cooler portion was gummed up inside even though the engine and radiator were clean and maintained with fresh anti-freeze. I could have the hole repaired, but wondered if it did much and am cleaning up the engine bay so posed the question.

A normal oil filter mount from a crown vic will work but youll have to stretch the lower radiator hose a little bit. The water tube angle of the vics is slightly different than a mustangs.

That's the extra one I have. Blak what are your thoughts on how effective the stock oil cooler is?
