2012s on lots....where are the oil coolers?

Depends on the temperature I guess? LS7 in 50* weather cold-crank at idle is around 50-60psi. That's the only car I have that I trust the oil pressure gauge on.

It's a good point about the double-sandwich plate, it's not as ideal as a just one (or none). I guess it depends on the design of their cooler sandwich plate how secure everything looks. I don't really think the high psi is a factor though. Either way the physical connections for the adapters, if properly tightened, should hold way way beyond that, they're pretty heavy (at least on the Mocal unit).

Anyone figure out whether they're routing the coolant to and from? You would think the inlet would come from the cold side of the radiator, but I'd really like to see how the factory hose routing works. 2012 service manual available yet?
