ATTENTION: read if your oil cooler fittings face DOWN!

Spearfish, Where do you have the oil on the dipstick?

If I turn off the engine and immediately pull the dipstick about 10 seconds later, the level is at the upper hole (top of recommended fill level). If the engine has been off for 5min or longer, the level is just above the letter H. This way, a running motor has a full sump when the cooler is primed.

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.
