Oil Cooler Questions..

No mods void your warranty. If the part causes a failure, that particular claim may be denied. A quality oil cooler installed properly will not cause you problems.

The old oil that stays in the core is nothing to worry about.

The reason why the hoses are on top of the cooler is that when you shut the engine off. Most of the oil will drain back into the engine sump. So when you start it up again. That oil has to flow back into and through the cooler before it gets into the engine. So there is a chance that you will be pushing air/foam through the bearings. Some have the cooler mounted the with hoses on the bottom with no problems so far. But why take a chance. As for the oil change. There is not that much to worry about.

Thanks all

Is filter relocation make any difference or its unnecessary? Where to buy parts?

Im thinking on buying 24 row oil cooler from Z1. (Is it quality product?)
How much extra oil do I need to add with the cooler?

Rusty

Where you're at. I would go with a 34 row. I have the Z1 34 row. FI makes a good 34 row too. Figure about 3/4 quart the first time. Fill the cooler with oil, install the hoses. Then mount the cooler the the radiator support. Being careful not to tilt the cooler. This way, you won't have too much air in the system when you first start.

Did you have any problems with the mounting bracket location. My holes didn't line up. I tried every hole on the bracket, but my left side where the head screws go in had no room for one bolt

Page 2 of my journal has some pictures. Think my holes lined up. But had to cut the sheet metal plate above the oil cooler for the oil lines. And relocate the horn. Also had to use a spacer behind the mounts for the Nismo frame dampener, and flip it around to fit.

Its secure i tried moving and it won't move. I have an 09 non nismo, the upper mounting bracket and the two head bolts are steady enough, if anything comes loose i'll get a new bracket fab'd up.
