The gold colored cap behind the letters "QX" will replace the cover of the oil filter housing.
Looks like it works with the pressure difference across the oil filter, such that a part of the oil will not get filtered, but cooled instead.
Cool gadget. But, utterly unnecessary.
With disadvantages outnumbering the advantages, if any:
- it needs oil to fill, the oil level in the engine will be lower
- not all oil gets filtered
- crud from the filter may re-enter the oil stream via the cooler
- in the winter, your engine takes longer to heat up and may not run hot enough
- more weight
- more parts to fail
