The big cooler I use has the same dimension pipe internals, connections, etc. so oil pressure is not affected. Only difference is a slight drop in oil level after dealer oil changes. This is only noted after full warm up with thermostatic valve opened. About 1/2 litre extra required to maintain correct sump level AFTER the cooler circuit has opened.

My interim oil changes at Simpson's include a run to warm to temperature, re-check level and top up to account for it.
Does the oil in the cooler drain out when changing the oil Alex?

I'd heard that some coolers retain their oil when it's dropped during a change????

( forgive me if that all sounds stupid- but what do you expectfrom me!?!)
