these are the before and after shots of my cooler line eliminator, the adapter is from unknown origins and the filter is a wix 57099, the best thing is that it doesnt leak and i gained about 10psi on oil pressure

You can get the adapter from the dealer it comes off one of the GM cars that do not use a oil cooler. I have done it on a couple trucks I just can not remember what car we ordered it for

on this subject of oil, have any of you experimented with the oil filter relocation kits? i was looking at some and since my filter is right above my front diff driveshaft, its kind of a pain. i was looking to relocate it to like the frame not to far from its original location.
