Yes you don't have oil lines that you can tap off of easily on your 2012

Thank you Cossie, so the oil warmer is behind the oil filter right with the two hoses attached?

I have seen in my honda/acuras similar looking thing behind the oil filter...I know it is nothing new. I just wanted to be sure on the 2012 Z, the two lines that flow in/out of the oil filter (oil warmer) were either coolant or oil.

Thank you for confirming...now I understand exactly whats going on. Those two hoses then need to stay even with the addition of an aftermarket oil cooler since there is coolant running through there.
