The only problem is that it seems to be a constant-flow adapter--that is, 
there is no thermostat involved.   If you're running a water-to-oil heat 
exchanger (Laminova etc.) then this IS what you want.   But if you're running an 
air-to-oil cooler, then you want a thermostatic housing so that the oil 
isn't run through the cooler when it's below optimal operating temperature.
