oil cooler pics

[GAF2]

right guys, this thread has got me into gear to fit my kit (had it nearly a year) but went to look at my sandwhich plate and am not sure if its right, it is thermostatic controlled but to me it looks like the thermostat is in the open postion. see pic below.

also does it matter which pipe you put on to which outlet, i was thinking no because it doesnt matter which way the oil runs through the cooler?

i imagine the side of the sandwhich plate with the rubber seal on goes against the block because the filter already has a seal on it?

one last question and might be a bit stupid, with a kit fitted do you need to increase the amount oil you put in the engine or do you just continue to fill to the level on the dipstick

cheers guys

Is there not any arrows for the flow on the side?

Yes you do, but run it till the engine is warm enough for the thermostat to open as there could be as much as half a litre in the oil lines and cooler, depending on size.
