Adding oil cooler problem on 2014

that is the stock oil cooler . couldnt you just unbolt that one and cap off the antifreeze lines and put the thermostatic sandwich plate in its place for the new cooler?

Z1 did say that is an option, just not sure what will be there if I remove the cooler, might need extra parts and could get in over my head for DIY.

You just need to use a shorter filter. This came up with some friends in Houston.

I'll ask around and get the filter number.
