Help hooking up DRM oil cooler
I am installing a DRM radiator oil cooler. I need to know which line out of the adapter above the oil filter is out and which is the in line. I assume the out line goes to the bottom of the cooler.

Re: Help hooking up DRM oil cooler (JakeL)
there are only two reasons that it would matter is if there is a remote oil filter. You don't want the oil trying to enter the filter from the center because of the one way flapper built into the filter.
The other reason is to fill up the oil cooler from the bottom so the cooler is full rather than having air pockets in the cooler. you will get better heat exchange with a full cooler. This also depends on your cooler design and installation layout. If your cooler is part of the radiator, then plumb it in from the bottom fitting.
