Default EOC question

For those who have added an external engine oil cooler to a C5Z how much extra oil did you add for HPDE's?
Thanks for the info.

If I knew what HPDE meant I might be able to help. In the end your dipstick is going to be your friend.

I have added remote dual oil filters (not in a C5) but not a cooler. You can rough out what you need from the cooler size and hose size and lengths. In the end, it is the oil level that will dictate how much you need to add.

I have added windage trays in engines which allowed me to raise the oil level so I recalibrated/remarked the dipsticks. If you trust the dipstick mark and use that as your correct level you will be fine.

Good luck in racing. I need to get back in the game. I love hill climbs over everything.
