You don't HAVE to use one, Australia's climate isn't wild enough that you will require one (unless you plan on some track-work). But yes, that is the sandwich plate which connects between the block and the oil-filter. Can't remember where the other fitting goes for the return, it's either on the sump or somewhere else on the block.

yep what hiro said. the oil returns to the sump via the fitting like in the pic (that one from a 7mgte) and they're a thermostatic bypass type.

no you don't have to have one.

if your into racing and the oil could do with being cooled then yeah good idea to fit one.

plenty of aftermarket ones available which are usually full flow out and back into the oil filter.
