Default Oil cooler run lines

Guys , could you make sure that I correctly ran the oil lines right?
This is a gen 6 engine
From the center fitting on the oil filter adapter it goes to the oil filter
From the oil filter it goes to the oil cooler
From the oil cooler it goes back to the oil filter adapter fitting that is on the side on the main center fitting on the adapter

Thanks for all your help

Just make sure the center port of the filter adapter goes to the center port of the remote filter, and you are good to go.

the center of the pad adapter is the return. Oil filters flow from the outside to the center.

I usually flow the oil from the outside fitting on the pad to the fitting on the filter adapter that flows to outside holes on the filter. Then from the center port on the remote filter adapter to the cooler and out of the cooler to center return on block pad. If possible, flow the oil in the cooler the opposite direction as the cooling water.

Note: It is bad to flow the oil backwards through the filter.

Hope this helps.
