<DIV>Any bad stuff in the oil lines is gonna originate in the engine, so make
the filter the first stop (and usually the shortest line). Then the cooler. And
what nobody else mentioned, a check valve after the cooler before it goes back
to the engine (keeps oil from flowing backwards into cooler, say on start-up.)
My Accusump is plumbed into a Tee that’s just before the engine inlet – what
goes to the Accusump is filtered and cooled oil, and what comes from the
Accusump goes only to the engine because the check valve prevents it going the
other way.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And yeah, coolers are cheap. If I’m concerned I’ll flush out the lines
(self-service car wash does the trick, use high-pressure rinse), but buy a new
cooler.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, filter first. But what I have run into on some customers cars is the
way the cooler lines run. Most coolers are mounted with the fittings on top.
This does not permit the cooler to drain and when you change your oil, the
cooler retains the old oil. You have to remove the cooler and at least one line
to drain the old oil out. Try to set your cooler a little high with the fitting
on the bottom so it can self drain. Of course, this means you must pre-lube the
engine before startup. I also set my cooler behind the radiator and not in
front. NASCAR experts say that the closer the oil and water temp are to each
other, the better. </DIV>

<DIV>Filter first. Keeps the crud out of the cooker. Coolers are hard to clean.
Good thought By Glen to replace the cooker on engine refreshing.
<DIV>With a cooler in the system, also a good idea to prelube the engine with an
Accusump upon cold start. Oil cooler lines are long and may drain upon standing
a while.<BR clear=none><BR clear=none>

<DIV dir=ltr>For those of you running a remote oil cooler and remote oil
filter do you run the hose coming OUT of the engine into the cooler first or
the filter first? Just wanted to see how and why (if there’s a reason) most
run their lines.<BR clear=none></DIV>
