Hey everyone. I have an s13 and I am wanting to do an oil cooler, I already know what setup I am going to be going with buy I have a quick question I cant seem to find, maybe I am overlooking it somewhere. But with an oil cooler, since you are adding more area for oil to flow, will I be needing to add maybe an extra half quart or less to fill the ares where that oil should be, Just want to be safe so nothing bad happens.

Thanks

Yes you will up the oil capacity which is a good thing. I would get an oil cooler with a thermostat so you don't over cool the oil.

+1, cool oil = more engine wear=no good
