+**Notes**: \\
+  * **The oil cooler is plumbed into the RETURN side of the oiling system**.
+    * All oil coolers and lines are installed in the part of the oil flow loop that returns engine oil to the oil tank. \\ The oil outlet must direct oil flow into oil filter or the return hose to the oil tank. \\   **CAUTION**: DO NOT CONNECT THE OIL COOLER IN THE FEED PATH BETWEEN THE OIL TANK AND OIL PUMP. \\
+  * **Oil cooler inlet and outlet**.
+    * On oil coolers without a built-in thermostat, either side can be an inlet or an outlet. Be sure you remember which you decide is the inlet/outlet.
+  * **Which first, oil cooler or oil filter**?
+    * Although the cooler must be in the oil flow return loop, it can be installed either before or after the oil filter.
-Below are drawings for adding an oil cooler inline WITH FACTORY OILING SYSTEMS that have the filter in the oil tank. \\

+===== Connections For Converting 57-78 Models to an Ext Oil Filter and Oil Cooler =====
+-1978 XL/XLH models had an oil filter factory installed in the oil tank and 1958 XLC/XLCH models didn't have an oil filter factory installed. \\
+To use an external filter on XL/XLH models, the oil filter has to be removed from the tank and the plumbing for the oil filter and oil cooler are shown in the diagrams below. \\
+Any XLCH having an in-tank oil filter also needs that filter removed. \\
