I installed an auxiliary oil filter and twin oil coolers when I installed my TT system on my Limited Edition LLT about 4 years ago. First, it may come as a surprise to you that there is no oil temperature sending unit in the Camaros. The oil temperature gauge simply reads out an estimated temperature that is calculated for other engine data sent to the ECU. GM cut a major corner here and I had wondered why my temperature gauge did not reflect the addition of (2) very large oil coolers. That explains no temperature reduction and to me, is really disappointing that GM did this.

Anyway, you absolutely need to cool the oil down with any high performance application. These late models run too hot, in my opinion and need help if developing more HP. You can add a factory adapter from other application 3.6 V-6's and do away with that eye sore casting that houses the stock oil filter, then purchase a simple aftermarket remote oil filter adapter and relocate the oil filter, then add any coolers you prefer. This will solve the problem. As for me, I already have my cooling system in place but am working on a oil temperature gauge that actually reads REAL TIME OIL TEMPERATURE! See attached pics for the GM adapter. I believe the part number is GM 12635599. As with any non-stock modification, it is the owners responsibility to verify that any non-stock part fits your particular application in function, as well as physical fitment.
