Remember that 6 quarts is the magic number for a full fill with a 25 row oil cooler.
Thanks, for this Warning Spearfish25

I have mine installed with the inlet/outllet in the down position, And have done the same to verify that it was at full after a quick warm up. I'm running the 34 row and sits slightly above full when cold. The reason for installing it this way for me? was the ease of draining the oil cooler and not having lines running thru the middle of the radiator making them obvious when looking at it from the front.
