Also, I assume there is no way to adjust this temperature threshold? Just trying to learn more about these sandwich plates.
Thanks!

That's exactly how they work...You do not run the risk of the oil running too cool, or not getting up to the minimum recommended 180 degrees..Though since I believe the oil system is plumbed through the Water system, the temps should stabilize at at least the normal water coolant temp of 180-190. It just may take the oil a little longer to get to that point if the cooler is running all the time (no thermostatic plate). I'm in NC so it's probably not critical, but if I lived in any of the Northern states I'd do the thermostat. Outboard ones with AN fittings can be added..
