Can anyone help me find a oil filter adapter switch for my 2003 3.9 v8 Thunderbird

What is an oil filter adapter switch?
What does it do? Or switch on/off?

Yep dumb questions but I'm trying to learn something here.

I’ve never heard on an oil filter adaptor switch either.

It's the body that your oil filter screws into and on the side of it it has two switches that control the flow of oil in and out. Ford has discontinued making this part.

Why do you want to stop the flow of oil?

Do you have a part number? I see the oil filter adapter, which is also the engine oil cooler, but no “switches.” Maybe the “switches” are a thermostatic valve for the coolant or oil flow in the cooler. See here for what a search for an adapter turned up at a Ford dealer. It’s a Lincoln LS part, but that’s fine since the LS and Jaguar S Type used the same platform as the T-Bird. It’s shown as in stock. https://www.billingsfordparts.com/o...ZLG3zNeHwwP1vZsSldpa9aV9DP6hzKaYaArdUEALw_wcB

That part in the picture is for a Ford 5 liter Coyote engine, not a 2002-05 T-bird.

There is an eBay listing for an oil filter adapter for several Jaguar engines that fits T-birds too. Maybe this is the part, but again there are no switches.
