Default Oil Thermostat

This ol Montana boy needs some help. I would like to install a oil thermostat on the car but I would like to know what the 4 ports are for. The way I see it is #1 inlet, #2 outlet to cooler, #3 bypass outlet #4 I don't have a clue. Any web site that I go to only shows the thermostat and not the recommended routing.
This is how I have my oil system plumbed now.

1 Engine to Dual Oil Filters.
2 Filters to Oil Cooler
3 Oil cooler to Check Valve to Accusump
4 Accusump back to Engine

I would like to install the Thermostat right after the filters and the bypass would tee back into the system prior to the Accusump but after the Check Valve.

Who can help me out on this.

The three biggest lies in Montana are

1. I won this buckle at a Rodeo
2. My pickup is paid for
3 Honest I was just trying to help the sheep over the fence.
