Oil cooler info......

I am curious......What is the difference between an oil filter location adapter and bracket in regard to marine rated vs. non-marine rated? My new parts from Summit both say " NOT FOR MARINE USE". What gives? The oil filter adapter is the screw on type.

99.9% of the time the difference is money.Anything that says marine has got to be expensive so u think your getting something special!On your relocater the only difference would possibly be the fittings there probably not stainless.

Actually there is a good reason for the warning. The unit you are referring to is made from cast aluminum. Cast aluminum is prone to cracking under stress, read vibration. This is inherent to boat motors. The way to go is to use billet pieces. Having said that, I know most boats use the cast pieces without a problem, myself included. But then?

Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and ordered the new billet parts. What is another $90 anyhow.....I know it's cheaper than a rebuild or a fire.
Thanks again,
Steve
