Anti-rotation Device for Offset Oil Filter Adapters
Bolts to the face of Offset Oil Filter Adapter to lock adapter in place against the case. This prevents oil filter adapter rotation during removal of an oil filter that has tightened due to thermal expansion of the o-ring during the heat cycle.
It's the locking system used with the new oil cooler filter mount so the mount doesn't unscrew when you remove the oil filter.And yes it is part of the new oil cooler kit.
yes the new HD coolers do have the anti-rotation lock to keep it from rotating when unscrewing the oil filter. \\; Older versions did not have this, in fact I have one on my Dyna and have to use a large screw driver to pry/hold the \\;adapter from rotating while unscrewing the oil filter.

The little amount of oil that is in the coller does not have to be drained or hose removed to drain when changing the engine oil and filter.
