Great post! Did the wrap for the lines come with the kit or is that something you added?

How much more oil did you have to add?

How much space do you have to put the oil filter on and off?

we bought the wrap from home depot

im running 7qtz now but i think im supposed to have 7.5qtz

there're plenty of space, i guess the angle of the shots aren't showing it too well

eric drilled holes thru the plastic piece to run the hoses through and it worked out perfect!

it's the same way u would do it without the oil cooler. basically the sandwich plate goes before the oil filter and the hoses are run to the oil cooler so nothing's been changed on the oem oil pan

That's the downside of having the oil cooler sitting up right. It's not a big deal though! There is ways to mount it up side down but may get leaks though.

I'm running the 19row cooler. The 25row didn't fit with the intakes being in front of the grill. I didn't wanted to mount it on the passenger side cuz I don't want it to block off some cold air for the heat exchanger.
