What is the best way to drain dirty oils in oil cooler???

you need probably about 1qt for the cooler or 3/4 and get a 5qt jug for the pan. that will be enough to get it running at a somewhat normal level. also piece of advice, when you fasten the hoses to the cooler fasten them so that they face slightly out or away from the fram and then zip tie the hoses to the crash bar. I found what that does is it makes for a constant "tightening" of the an lines to the cooler. Sometimes with vibration it can unfasten the adapters. I've had mine like that for 17k and no problems. I luckily caught it after the first thousand when i was fabricating my block off plate.
