Ebay Chinese thermostat oil sandwich plate hack

How to fix, what is, whatever, whatever. Everything you need to know about a cheap Chinese oil filter adaptor for an oil cooler. I put a different thermostat motor (charge cylinder) in it, because the one it came with was too cold, and changed the seals to make sure they do not leak.

Thanks for the video. I was concerned about how the valve functions and its reliability. Your non-narcissistic manner and candid humor get 5 stars IMO.

[@johnshaw3208]

Thank you for sharing. I also bought an Ebay oil cooler for my 2jzgte and need an oil thermostat.

[@NigelsModellingBench]

"There isn't one". LMFAO!!! You made my day!!

[@difsid569]

thanks for the video and all the good infos and experiments, i must follow your channel 😁

[@RustBeltAuto]

There iz a playlist of my Honda build. The installation of it is in there for all to see.

[@garydeandeery]

I just fitted gauges fir my rx8 got the cheap blue plate and fitted it then a new filter then started the engine and see it leaking straight away I need different oil filter so the seal fit better the m20 bolt looks like it should have a washer to help seal

[@vyhuyho]

About the Stan thermostat, did that also in my mod.

[@jcrisen5417]

Great hack!!!

[@TheCthtoNicfLy]

Wow holy moly, Dude Your are the man.

[@kaijub143]

Nice video

[@anthony8787]

You sir!! Just made me soo much more confident in buying a cheaper thermostatic adapter!! I literally after watching this ordered the same one in red for basically same price.. i will do the same n go to a parts store and try and match the shitty 170 stat they install for a decent 195-200. Thank you!!

[@RustBeltAuto]

It looks like a Mocal knockoff. You could probably use their t-stat too. I'm just really cheap.

[@anthony8787]

@@RustBeltAuto i am too lol, the stat to me isnt worth $24

[@anthony8787]

@@RustBeltAuto theres an upgraded part number to the stat you used.. the pin was not crimped into the crown of the stat like yours was.. it looks good! I have a $7 195° stat now

[@elibruhim2102]

Thank's for the video .you helped me a lot bro.

[@_entrxpy]

very nice vid but I can’t find any thermostat that opens above 200degF…

[@xnotx2]

A little internal seeping past the thermostat valve is good, for sure. Let's it warm up.

[@RustBeltAuto]

OMG. KZbin has these 3 rectangular things for me to pick under your comment that says "Great point! For sure! Good call!" It is soo narcissistic, and superficial, I cannot even begin to believe how this is beneficial for anyone.

[@xnotx2]

@@RustBeltAuto Oh yea, I hate those. They have them when I text on my phone. The pre determined answers are so emasculated lol

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@xnotx2 I am important! I demand positive feedback! They might as well just make it automated, so I don't have to do anything at all. Like one of those AI girlfriend apps or something.

[@xnotx2]

@@RustBeltAuto Hahaha! yep

[@_entrxpy]

Let’s what warm up? It’s the opposite, it makes the oil cool down when it’s not necessary…

[@garydeandeery]

Few pictures of what I made and fitted

[@jcrisen5417]

Where do you plan to mount the radiator for this?

[@RustBeltAuto]

In front of the a/c condenser probably.

[@gilhernandez605]

Do you have links to those parts thanks.

[@RustBeltAuto]

I went on Ebay, and found the cheapest no brand Chinese stolen intillectual property I could find. Good luck.

[@blackincawston]

Hello there, I was going to buy one of these since I just realised the previous owner of my 1995. Chevy diesel truck deleted the oil cooler and just connection thru this instead of the original port on the adapter. Would you say to avoid it? Thank you

[@RustBeltAuto]

I don't understand.

[@blackincawston]

@@RustBeltAuto sorry I meant if you would advise to get it or avoid the product on eBay

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@blackincawston I don't know how the factory one works. Does it go to a something that coolant runs through, or is it cooled by air?

[@blackincawston]

@@RustBeltAuto the factory one is cooled by air believe but did you end up installing the one in the video on your vehicle?

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@blackincawston yes I did. It seems to work fine. There is another video on the install on my playlist for this car. There are a few other things I did different on the thing.

[@elibruhim2102]

But do u have the same oil sundwic like him?

[@erikmackloet6551]

hello I have the same problem with the leak , what kind of O ring do you use ?

[@RustBeltAuto]

Where is it leaking?

[@erikmackloet6551]

​@@RustBeltAutosealing plug thermostat The original O ring is 17x2,5 mm ,its to small I think

[@RustBeltAuto]

@@erikmackloet6551 maybe tore it, or it rolled over? Is there a good chamfer on the top, so it goes in nice? Is the bore clean, round, with no grooves, or defects? I dont know what size o-ring should be in there. It should have a little tightness of fit. Just a little

[@erikmackloet6551]

everything is ok and clean. if the engine has been running for a few minutes, the oil will drip out. I really think the O ring is too small

[@erikmackloet6551]

the original ring is 17x2.5 mm. I am trying an O ring 19x2,5 mm or 18x3,5 mm

[@xnotx2]

10:49 LOOOOL

[@vladnickul]

:) i have one of those for years in my car , just put a decent oring. I pay for it i think 15€... worth it. *just remember mine has a perrin mark on it :)

[@sotn8010]

Ive literally just received the cheap version today and thinking the same thing . Ive noticed they sell inline thermostats for the AN10 fittings but im probably gonna just order one of those thermostatic ones

[@wickedsatan1]

Does it serve the purpose?

[@RustBeltAuto]

It's working I think.

[@xnotx2]

7:38 That's a wax motor. lol

[@xnotx2]

I comment too early apparently.

[@RustBeltAuto]

HVAC guys call them that. I guess it's called a charge cylinder too.

[@nismospek]

I hated my thermostatic switch. They end up trapping oil in the lines and you end up having lower oil pressure. I even tried adding an extra quart and it would still have less oil pressure when cold.

[@RustBeltAuto]

There is probably a flow restriction. If it is not producing enough volume, the pressure will decrease.

[@RustBeltAuto]

You could also have a problem with it swapping spit. If the pressure, and return is leaking together. Just a thought.

[@kitamayoru3486]

Why do you sound like peter griffin

I don't have an answer for that.

No

It's not just Chinese parts. I complain about everything, and buy on the cheap, when I think I can make it work, like I did here.

Dang bro, you did a good job... I click just because it says oil cooler and as you ramble on I was like, ahh, this is good stuff. Appreciate how you set the camera, your tone of voice, and honest opinion. 🦥 ***Can't find the installation video and afterthoughts***
