That's the oil filter adapter, not the oil cooler. I would not submerge it in degreaser. Those passages inside need to be clean, and you definitely don't want solvent in them.

Thank you Lead Head!
I chicken'd out. Taped up all the openings and went at the outside with a brass brush. Later when I removed the large bolt near the oil filter, there was a spring inside and some sludge! I wonder if I need to check that spring each time I do an oil change?

No, that is part of the oil pressure relief system. Make sure you don't lose any of the parts, otherwise you will have no oil pressure.

Lead,
Is there a ball bearing or anything under the spring? I only found the cap and then the spring.
Ty!

Not sure, there should be something in there for the spring to work against

Found it! There’s an oil relief valve stuck in the housing. Will clean that out. When in doubt refer to the manual!
