On the back of the block where the oil filter screws onto is an item with 2 coolant hoses on it and the filter screws to it. That exchanges heat between the coolant and the oil that both pass through it......
I am just going to stick some universal heater hose on it until the silicone hoses arrive....that was my plan anyway....
