I'm prepping for my Stillen kit install. How did you guys purge the oil cooler once it was installed? I've seen various ways listed for other cars but would prefer to know exactly what works for the 370Z. One method I heard of was fully depressing the accelerator while cranking the motor (not sure how to continuously crank the engine with a push button starter). The other way was to pull the fuse on the ECU (again, not sure how to do that yet) and crank the engine again.
Finally, how does the oil cooler stay filled when the car is shut down? Having not seen it on the car yet, it's hard to visualize. But if the cooler sits higher than the oil pan, won't the oil flow back to the pan and empty the cooler each time you shut the car off? (There is a good chance I'm just not understanding the mechanics of the system...the mechanic installing it better have more knowledge).
Advice welcome!
