I don't really understand what you mean, but as I have understood it, the oil dip stick now show a full pan, and the extra quart has been distributed in the system.

Now, as I said, we have been going through the installation and we are really puzzled by this. Mainly because it's just a cooler and some hoses, there is nothing really different that should affect the oil pressure. The only thing I can think of is that there is an air pocket somewhere after it's been sitting for a while. But what to do about it?
My first thought was the core was installed upside down, and it was draining back into the pan when it sits. If that's not the case, I've got nothing.
