It works for me. I have tried blowing the cooler & lines out after draining & only ever get 1/2 a pint out.

how does oil flow uphill? lower line elevates to oil filter housing? |

I wouldn't waste my time draining oil out of my oil cooler...but then I do have an added bypass filter on my 84 300D.
I think the oil pressure at the cooler hoses is going to be the same, or very close to the same as the car's pressure gauge reads. I used high pressure braided and AN fittings to replace my cooler hoses. When I changed the plastic oil pressure gauge line to a braided hose from Summit racing, I pressure tested my custom adapter. My oil pressure gauge read 3 bar at about 30p.s.i. I wish there was an easy way to get an aftermarket gauge in the dash, as I would much rather have the p.s.i. reading and a wider range.

This may be a repeat of info but in the Manual it has that the Oil Pressure Relief Valve inside of the Oil Pump opens at 110psi.
When I tested the Oil Pressure on my Car the max Oil pressure I could get was 97 psi.

& the other line goes down hill to filter. Most appears to drain out. As I said, I have found all but 1/2 pint drains out.

I cannot imagine very much oil in the cooler. I completely believe layback4o on this.
1. The cooler does not hold that much. not much of a tank on each end and those cooling tubes are pretty small. It is mostly air. 2. from my 115 days I used to drain mine and there just was not much there. It is not a bad thing conceptually but in reality, again, I would not risk failure of my fabrication.

It has been called to my attention that I was careless and called layback40 outback40.
I did not do it intentionally, and if it is a particularly nasty word down under, I apoligize again. As you can see by the rest of the post I was 100% agreeing with him. I am not sly enough to do something like this on purpose.

Again, I pull the lower hose mount to oil cooler well after I have pulled sump plug and I always get well over 1 quart of dirty oil. I maintain an oil level between upper and lower marks on dipstick - try it yourself, you will see more oil than you think drain over two hours! |

Are you removing the filter element & allowing the filter housing to drain prior to draining the cooler? I am at a total loss to work out where all the oil is coming from!! Normally I allow my cars to drain over night. Its an over kill I know, just makes life easy. Put the sump plug & new filter element in & fill with oil in the morning.

The pressure in the cooler is whatever pressure the oil-system as indicated on the gauge is at....
No point in draining cooler on oil-change, the Injection-pump also contains around half a litre of oil, which doesnt drain when oil-changing.... So the extra effort of draining the cooler isnt much value... If you have issues of oil left in the system, Do an oil system flush with a cheap oil when you do your change....

as for oil pressure isnt it something like 3 psi per 100 rpm rule of thumb on diesels?
as for draining the cooler, imo, theres no plug. odds are the car is 25+ years old, it hasnt been done in 25 years, why start now? if u add a drain its just more stuff to leak, i dont like having extra parts that could potentially break.
