Make sure you have the direction of the oil flowing exactly as described in the diagram. A fram hp-6 filter has a bypass built into the filter. When the oil is moving faster than the matrix can filter it, it flows through the bypass, which is most of the time. If the filter is plumbed backward the oil will be restricted to the engine and the resulting concequences will be catastrophic. ..... * BOOM *......

Now we can start the battle of filter first or cooler first.

My reasoning is filter first. Hotter oil goes thru filter easier, and filter oil goes thru cooler in case motor melts down the cooler will only have clean oil going thru it.

If motor is gen VI then also make sure you have the 30 psi bypass in the block instead of the 10-11 psi one

I agree.... filter first... cool later. But if the motor melts down you are still going to get debris in the cooler because of the bypass. The only time all the oil passes through the filter is when the oil is hot and the engine is just idling. Any more flow and the oil goes through the bypass. But the thinner and warmer the easier it is filtered. Also... mount the filter and cooler as close to the engine as possible. The longer the lines the more resistance you have forcing the oil through the components and back to the engine. Keep the lines as big in diameter and as short in length as possible.

We usually plumb filter first as well for the reasone you guys already mentioned.. It's really not much more difficult to do so either.. However if you screw something up bad enough while running, you still will have stuff get into the cooler.. Jamie / Lakeside
