Anyone know how much loss in oil pressure is the norm when installing a big oil cooler (1/2" lines) + running dual oil filters + adapter?

I'm not sure about the loss but I run a large cooler, 1/2" lines, and single filter. Mine usually sits around 40 pounds.

Thanks Michael!

The reason I ask is at start-up (before cooler) the OP was at 60psi. With the oil cooler it's now at 50psi. Not sure what it is when warm since I haven't reinstalled the radiator.

You need to make sure you have 10 PSI per 1000 RPM's hot. At least that is what DSS says about the issue.
