Fitting Hks Oil Cooler

[konect]

Hey guys, just bought an oil cooler and have a few q's about the install:

1. On the sandwich plate it says IN & OUT for the hoses, but has nothing on the cooler. Does it matter which hose goes on what side of the cooler or can it flow both ways?

2. Do I need to drain the oil to fit the sandwich plate or can I just change the filter and top up the oil?

3. Once its all connected do I need to crank the motor first or will it not make a difference due to the thermostat?

Thanks, Konect.

1. The cooler doesn't care what way it flows

2. You can fit the sandwich plate without dumping the oil but id recommend changing oil at the same time anyway (and also cleaning the lines and core before installation)

3. pull the plug off the cas and give it a crank for 20 seconds or so, then check the level and top it up before starting it

What do you suggest cleaning the lines with and core with ? It is second hand so has oil and crap all over it.
