after installation and starting up the car, how long should I expect for the oil cooler lines to fill up with oil (if the oil pressure and actual oil is not the same)? unless I am supposed to add in the extra .65 quart before the first start? if I add in the extra oil, would it cause the engine to be overfilled before the oil cooler is at full oil capacity? I know you mentioned that the cooler lines are closed off until it reaches 185F so would that affect how fast the cooler and lines fill up after installation?
