Oil Coolers and Oil changes

SPOHN

Is your cooler mounted upright or facing down? Being facing down it can alter the measurements from what I read on other threads here. But there's a thread here on how to get it correct with facing down methods. It's best to check when cold or cooler. I believe it can be off by 5% when hotter. But don't take my word on this.

Mine is up and have had no issues getting the proper measurement. When I first installed mine I filled the cooler up then installed the lines. Then I continued to fill the engine. Which I knew the lines would account for a little bit more oil. So I let the car run a mintute, turned it off and topped off the rest. But I check it often that first two days. I always chech it before I drive anywhere everyday I drive it.

Over filling can ruin the seals but sure your fine for it would take some time before this happens.
