DeleriousZ Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 So I'm sitting here thinking about random stuff for the first startup, when the thought occurs to me that I'm really not sure how much oil the engine requires with my oil cooler. It then occurs to me that I'm not sure if I'll be able to properly fill the oil with the added capacity of the cooler itself. The way the cooler is mounted, all of the oil would drain out of it via gravity, is this assumption correct? Here's a picture of its current position: If the oil does drain out of it, should I just measure the capacity of it and add in that much extra oil and not go off the dipstick readings or what? Would it just be wiser to install the cooler the other way around and try and make the hoses work (I've got much extra hose) Thanks for any help!

johnc Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Would it just be wiser to install the cooler the other way around and try and make the hoses work That would be my suggestion. It will also make sure no air pockets form in the cooler (which is rare but has happened). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleriousZ Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hahaha blow really hard! It's not too difficult to remove so I don't foresee any huge issues coming from it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
