No. Additional oil was needed only at the initial fill after installing the second oil cooler. When you change the oil next time you will be draining the oil from the pan, not the coolers, so the amount drained and refilled will be essentially the same as before.

My car is a JDM Type S high power 6-speed and has only one oil cooler. More power than than usual exported versions of the 6-speed and one less oil cooler? Wierd because Japan and south Asia have a hot climate.

Where does that go to? Does it go straight to the intake accordian tube.....or does it detour somewhere?
Thanks for answering for me

No autos in the UK, but both 4 port and 6 port models have twin oil coolers; and we hardly have a 'hot' climate.
