Oil Cooler Install
Just got the oil changed and the oil cooler installed today (done at 12,738 miles). Going to test everything more tomorrow when it isn't raining but after leaving the car running for a bit I didn't see any leaks. So far so good. The cooler was a lot more annoying to install then I thought it would be. There isn't much room to tuck all the lines in all nice and neat. Especially when trying to fit an extended filter in the space. I think I did a good job with nice loose bends in the lines and no rubbing on other lines. The one thing I did different from Z1's instruction was I actually went over the power steering line bracket and under the top line (IMHO this is better than Z1's way anyway because if you do rub it's against the rubber part not the metal part of the lines less likely for metal on metal contact). No matter which way I tried to feed the lines under the spacer Z1 provides I couldn't get them to fit. There didn't seem to be any rubbing or pressure on the power steering line but I'll keep an eye on it . My Sway Bar is on back-order but hopefully I can tackle that next weekend.
