bullseye - it is difficult to answer your question, since your actual installation would dictate what, if any, oil drains out of your cooler.

FWIW, I doubt any of the oil in the cooler itself would drain, might get a bit out of the lines.

The only proper way to define the "correct" oil level in the pan is by measurement - static oil level should be around 1" below the crank counterweights at their lowest point I believe. Mark the dipstick to suit.

I hope someone else chimes in to confirm/alter my 1" below the crank figure. This is an empirical "guess" on my part.
