| Subject: | Inverting Oil Cooler |
Has anyone contemplated or installed their oil cooler upside down compared to the
Vans recommended standard installation, to enable residual oil to be drained
from the oil cooler during an oil change, without the need to remove the cooler?
Wanting to know if this is feasible or practicable please?
Any photos would be appreciated please.
Warm regards
Patrick

Consider that you might create more problems than you solve.
You would need longer oil lines, right angle fittings that could impede
flow, and likely chance of trapping air in the oil cooler.

In general, a liquid based cooler is discharged at the top. This forces the
cooler to always be full before fluid leaves - as in the fluid media tubes
are not bypassed and you do not have an air lock stuck at the top of the
cooler.
For the RV-10 I did not like the Van's bounce off the firewall then back at
the engine air path. I used the Airflow 2006X cooler but did a horizontal
firewall mount. Even on hot days I end up closing down on the air to cooler
butterfly valve to keep oil temps up. Photo attached. Note the cooler also
has a forward adle clamp attachment to the engine mount that is not shown in
this photo.

I would also add that for as frequently as most people change the oil, it probably
would not provide much, if any, benefit.

That's an excellent way to mount the cooler, but my exhaust hangars
would go right through the fwd right corner of the cooler. Do you have
a different way of mounting the hangars or a different exhaust setup???

I have the stock Van's engine and Vetterman exhaust. I did not have a
problem but I remember cutting one of the exhaust mount threaded rods
shorter so that it did not hit the bottom of the cooler. I looked for a
photo with all the stuff mounted but the attached is the closest I found.
