So why are some of you guys mounting the coolers with the fittings facing down? Just so you can drain them? Just wondering. I will be mounting mine facing up.

Yes. Some just like the added security. Which I understand completly. But doesn't hurt facing up due to the amount of new oil that will mix with the old.

It would seem to me that facing up or on top of the cooler allows for a better cooling?

How is that? It doesn't matter how it's mounted it still cools. You could mount it sideway if you wanted. And the flow it not going to be effected either.
