I'm readying to install an oil cooler on my tr6. I have the spin-on filter
adapter and I was wondering what direction the oil is forced through the
filter/hoses/cooler. I suspect oil flows in the following direction but I
would like clarification from those of you who have done this before:
1) oil come out of the engine (forced by the output of the oil pump) and is
forced through the cooler
2) Oil leaves the cooler and then forced into the oil filter
3) Oil leaves the filter and is fed back to the engine.
I would hope this is the case as this would ensure if there was any trash in
the hoses or the cooler (from the manufacturing process) that the filter would
catch it before hitting the engine bearings. I plan to flush the new hoses and
cooler as an extra measure of protection.
