Oil Cooler/relocator

as defari says, fill to H, run the car and go back and check it.

check the "goods on oils" thread.. its over a 100 pages long but spend a bit of time reading through, improves your knowledge about how oils work.. benefits/disadvantages of types of oil i.e semi synthetic/ fully synthetic etc etc - you'll find your answer in there somewhere. I would go off your dipstick though. start with 4L - turn car on for a few minutes.... let it sit for a bit - check dipstick - keep topping up in small increments until you reach the H level.

Rido sweet will do didn't even no a page like that was around!! I'll jump on now and have a read!! But yeah I'll do that to shouldent be to hard now I'll take pics step bye step and post them to

Yep rido will do!!

[gotRICE?]

this is where it goes through behind the headlight

You may have done this, but id recommend putting a piece of that plastic loom covering stuff over the lines where they pass here. That braided stuff is actually piss weak in terms of wear, and with movement of the engineetc, it will eat through that line in no time!

I pretty much have mine covered from just after the core to just before the block. Just where you can see the pretty lines it isnt

And in a GTR, you cant see squat under the manifold anyway haha.

Ok sweet as will do that then, cheers mate for that!! How to i connect it to the block? Does it just screw In Orr,? I dnt have it yet so i can't look at it a sus it out for my self just got to ask all these stupid questions that will make more sense to me when im holding it probably.

looks just like the end of a oil filter on one end and two ports on the other, just fit it like you do a oil filter and don't over tighten

[RBish]

edit: also depending on what Pal has done with his, do not over tighten the oil filter like i did last time.. due to its close proximity to the radiator pipe / fuse box / washer bottle - when you go to do an oil change there is very little room and its quite hard to get leverage without taking the washer bottle out (i broke 3 of those oil filter removal tools, and yes i had to do the screwdriver into the side trick which i thoroughly DO NOT recommend)

dude just get a 3/8 filter claw, a 300mm extension and a ratchet.

hopefully they give you a small seal where it connects to the block - mine came without one - had to go find a similar ring at the local hardware..

and smokey - i used the filter claw - that just crushed the oil filter more leaving less filter to grab a hold of.

Haha yeah the chick at repco made the same remark. It just wasnt coming off. I basically tore it off with multi grips, screw driver and a chisel. But yeah avoided damaging the sandwich plate
