So I am now getting ready to install the oil lines to my front oil cooler. Unfortunately the kit comes with one 22ft oil line. I would like to cut the line in two before I start threading the needle (oil lines) through the car. Does anybody know how long the lines need to be? Is one line is longer then the other?
I did notice that AA has a kit that has 2 oil lines. Does anybody know how long are those lines? (DR. hint..hint). I also need to know how much oil I need to add with the addition of the front oil cooler. I have been told 3-4 qts. I plan to add the oil as the oil gets hot. Finally does it matter if the hot oil from the engine enter the top or bottom of the oil cooler? Thaks, Buck |

... - I have about 16 qts in my oil system - My lines are different length, on my setup the return line is a good 3 feet longer than the supply line - I have the hot go in on top since heat rises so theoretically the cooler oil should want to go to the bottom anyways, check your cooler though, it might have markings - My lines run next to each other through the car and i also have the hot supply on top, not sure if that makes a huge difference though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
