Oil Capacity???

How many of you are adding oil with an engine oil cooler vs. running stock capacity?

Re: Oil Capacity???

you dont need to add extra oil.

the cooler will drain back to the pan when the engine is off, no need to remove it.

Im running an oil cooler, but also a 6qt pan, so i have an extra qt to play with.
