Vibrant 17081 Replacement Thermostat for Oil Cooler Sandwich Adapter

The Vibrant Performance 17081 is a direct replacement thermostat designed for use with Vibrant's oil cooler sandwich adapters. Over time, the thermostat element can wear or fail, and this service part allows you to restore full functionality to your oil cooling system without replacing the entire sandwich adapter assembly.

The thermostat plays a critical role in your oil cooling circuit — it remains closed during cold starts to allow the engine oil to reach optimal operating temperature quickly, then opens to route oil through the external cooler once temperatures rise. Replacing a faulty or worn thermostat ensures accurate temperature regulation and protects your engine from both over- and under-cooling.

Key Features:

• OEM-equivalent replacement thermostat for Vibrant oil cooler sandwich adapters
• Maintains proper oil temperature regulation for engine protection
• Stays closed during warm-up to promote fast oil temperature rise
• Opens at the correct threshold to divert oil flow through the external cooler
• Direct drop-in fit — no modification required
• Manufactured to Vibrant Performance quality standards

This replacement thermostat is the correct service part to keep your Vibrant oil cooler sandwich adapter operating as intended, making it an essential component for any performance or track build using an external oil cooler.
