Oil cooler sideways mounting & oil capacity
I've had my oil cooler setup planned out for a while now and in order to fit a bigger cooler I've planned to mount it sideways. I had also read that this is good as it allows you to change more of your oil during an oil change.
The one thing I didn't think about was filling the oil system. So if my oil pan is a 5.5 quart pan and the cooler and lines add another 2.75 quarts is it ok that the pan will have ~8 quarts at start up until the oil cooler is refilled?Please Subscribe to the AutoXandTrack YouTube Channel

You can get an anti drainback oil filter.

Ha! I totally forgot about that! I installed everything today and the anti drainback valve works perfectly at keeping all the oil in the cooler and the pan at a normal level.
