Does anybody use quick release oil couplings in their oil cooler system or is it best to avoid them?

Cheers Sam,

Do you use dry break couplings so you don't have to drain oil from the lines when changing engine?

No just the normal threaded ones. You want the ultra flow fittings if theres any bends as it reduces the friction in the lines. They're awkward to fit to the pipes but they are good fittings
