My other point was based on the worry of if you mounted the ports in the 12 o'clock position, when it came time to change the oil, used oil would still be in the cooler and then recirculated instead of being drained. So I thought about mounting them in the 6 o'clock position, but then I thought gravity would keep oil from being able to flow through the whole thing, not maximizing it's ability.
I guess my problem in theory was the actual flow direction of the oil. I was thinking it went from the engine through the cooler to the pan... Or does it go from the pan to the cooler then to the engine??

/\ that's an issue with pretty much any oil cooler, oem or aftermarket. wouldn't worry about it since the vast majority (85% or so) of the oil gets changed everytime anyway. You could always unmount the cooler once every 3 or 4 oil changes and just "dump" all the oil out just for piece of mind if you want. Just to put into perspective, the GTR has an oil cooler standard and in it's maintenance guidlines, which are very very strict and specific, it never mentions draining the residual oil out of the cooler ever.
