Oil Cooler adapter question

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

When I put my Setrab cooler on I bought a CXRacing adapter. That thing has leaked from the oring where the adapter meets the stock oil cooler.

I'm looking at an adapter that may be a bit higher quality or doesn't leak as easily. I'm thinking of maybe a thermostatic Mishimoto. Thoughts or hints ????
 
I use the Mishimoto thermostatic adapter on mine, but I do not have the stock oil cooler installed. I tried to install the Mishimoto adapter to the factory oil cooler and the gasket on Mishi's adapter just seals by maybe a 1/16 of an inch. Not very much. I wouldn't trust it. On one of the oil cooler threads I posted a picture of imprint left by the Mishi adapter gasket on the factory oil cooler.

No problems with the Moroso unit. I think it's the same one in the Ford Racing cooler kit. But you might need different adapters to use it, since it has female ORB ports.
