CG oil cooler questions

diyRdie · 01-16-2020, 10:45 AM

I have been using the bad weather time to do all the modding and repairs to the rat magician I can afford before spring. Finally read almost all the posts on the forum about oilcoolers and the picked one out and ordered. Ended up getting THIS

Should get here around FEB 1st. So my 2 questions are:
1. I understand the pump is a "sucking" type and acts as a check valve. Do I need to open an oilcoolers line and drain it separately from the oil sump every time I change oil? Or are you just changing the quart or so in the sump and leaving what is in the cooler?
2. Does anyone monitor they're oil temps? What temps are common to see.
I'd like to use THIS however the max temp is only 275F.

Thanks in advance. -diy
