I have thought about this a few times and forget to ask if this matters, . do we just not worry about that extra quart or so that is in the cooler and cooler lines, OR option 2 drain it or 3. run it after changing it, long enought to open the thermostat that allows for the oil to circulate thru the cooler and run it for a while and then change it again?
seems we are only getting about 3/4 of the oil out and changed if i leave it in there- my motor is a stock 2.0 and the cooler was installed at Tangerine racing, it is small one that comes off an adaptor plate on the oil filter location. thanks for the input. Phil |

Yup, that's pretty much it. Lots of vehicles now have oil to water coolers. You can be sure you're not getting every last ounce drained out of those coolers when you get an oil change.
As previously stated by Mark, you can pre-fill the cooler. I've done it on race cars. Sometimes makes a mess as you go to reconnect the fill line. Oh well. That's what brake cleaner is for right? |
