I have the Z1 oil cooler all ready for install. Hopefully I can find the time tomorrow to do it.

That looks cool. We have done several installations of that very cooler on 370's over here at casa onzedge and it is straightforward. We also do something extra. Even though the Z1 guys wrap their lines, we like to add a little more protection.

Get some heater hose from your local autoparts store -- hose that has an I.D. that is about the size of the cooler line's O.D. Also get some zip ties. We cut some lengths of the heater hose -- maybe 6" or so -- and then slit them lengthwise. Anywhere the oil cooler lines go around something, we put these short pieces on with zip ties for added protection from abrasion. Just a thought.

You should budget two hours or thereabouts. Good luck, man.

Thanks for the input! Funny that you mention that. I had read about the heater hose stuff in one of the threads here and bought some for that purpose.

It is about 6 to 6.5 quarts.

I have a 19 row cooler and I use just shy of 6 quarts.

Installed the Z1 25-row oil cooler today and did an oil change to Redline 5w30 at the same time. Below are some pics. It was fairly easy to install thanks to the great Z1 installation guide and all of the help on this forum. When I took it out for a quick test drive the difference in temps was great. The car never even reached 200 degrees.

Nice clean install.

Good job, Mr. PedZ.

Glad to hear that the install went well! Installing the heater hose is definitly cheap insurance. Keep me posted on its performance and your thoughts.
