I bought an oil-cooler last summer, and decided that the 100+ degree temps
we're
getting on the eastern sea-board might be motivation to install the cooler.

The instructions that I got for installing the Oil-cooler onto the engine
block, failed to notate the best orientation for installation of the adapter.

Right now I have the aluminum adapter (that goes between the engine block
and the 
oil filter, with the fittings for the hoses) pointing downward at about a 4
o'clock
position. It doesn't appear that the hoses are able to come off of that
adapter 
in any other position due to placement of the; engine mounts, oil pressure
sensor, and 
alternator bracket.

Is there a wrong way to point the adapter-to-hose fittings for this thing
to function
correctly? My oil pressure light goes out quickly, so I assume it's working
okay.
