Default Oil cooler

regarding flipping the oil cooler without disconnecting the hoses , no need to drain the coolant right ?

So if someone else has done it hopefully we can too! I might try and remove that heat shield though...

Where did you order the new seals from? A dealership or ebay etc. I haven't gotten them yet.

BTW, torque on the small nut is 69 inch-lb (~6 ft.lbs).

If the coolant lines are not disconnected there should be no leakage.
