Im relocating my oil cooler, it was inbetween my seats and gas tank etc... So im movin it up into the frame to get more air, my question is does it matter what end is up or down? Meaning the way the oil is flowing. It was sittin vertically before, now will be sloped with the frame. thanks-jayrod

Fittings come out the sides or top/bottom?

It does not seem to matter to much. I use to mount mine above the gas tank for air flow kept the fittings horizontal and feed the oil in the top like a radiator. Right now mine are flat and under the fuel tank.

If the cooler is mounted vertical with side inlets I always try to have the "in" at the bottom and the "out" at the top.
This should keep the cooler full of oil when operational.
That should maximize oil cooling.
