Hi everyone

I tried google and other forums but can't find an installation guide for oil relocator and cooler for dc5r

I want to know where to
mount things and is there a sequence to connect the lines

you wont find one, its just something youve gotta figure out when you do it.

Heres a basic run down, thatll work for any car.

1. drain all oil
2. remove oil filter
3. with a thin film of oil on teh gasket/seal, screw the adaptor plate onto the oil filter locator
4. Securely attach the oil filter mounting plate to you desired location
5. Find a spot for your cooler. Most people will just mount it in front of the radiator. Make sure its got good airflow, and is up off the ground so it wont get damaged.
6. connect all the hoses up to the right spots as instructed in the user guide/ There is no sequence to it, just make sure theyre all secure
7. fit oil filter
8. Fill the engine with oil. Make sure you add about an extra litre or so, because it does have to fill up the hoses, and oil cooler
9. crank the engine, start it up, let it run for 10 seconds or so, then turn it off.
10. Check for any leaks, and then leave off for 10 minutes.
11. check the dip stick, and top up if neccesary
