Right,
I have fitted my oil cooler and I have changed the oil.
When I turn the oil cooler on it sucks a load of oil around the cooler and pipes etc.
This pulls the oil level right down from Max to about Min.
When the engine is not running the oil drains back down to the sump and puts the level back up.
I have put some more oil in so that when the cooler is full, there is a healthy amount of oil left in the sump, just under max.
When starting off in the morning though, the oil level is right up over max as the oil is back down in the sump and not flowing around the cooler.
Will this cause me any problems, the high level of oil clears in about 30 seconds or so once engine is started and the cooler has had its feed.
