I installed mine facing up. Out of the 6.5 quarts of oil in the engine, cooler and lines, I don't see the residual amout left in the cooler will be enough to be concerned with especially if you are changing on regular intervals. I also added a magnetic drain plug to make sure I capture metal shavings in the oil and not have them recirculating.
