Default i was on the phone w/ Skyler on Fri. he said he would check with

josh and get back to me, but his guess was closer to 1 qt with the hoses and cooler.

Default IMHO from looking at it breifly i would say .75 to 1 qt incl. lines

since you are supposed to prefill it to an extent it shouldnt be that hard to figure out

Default i just filled the cooler core ...

and i have about 650ml left from a 946ml bottle.
let's call it 300ml for the core & (guessing) another 500 for the lines.

so ya. you're pretty close.

Default ..and it seems like we have a leak. weee.

you guys may want to test it for leaks before installation.

this is what i did:

1) removed the 2 caps from the cooler core
2) filled the core with oil
3) attached male ends from oil lines to the cooler core
4) attached the 2 caps to the female end of the oil lines
5) turned the core rite side up so that the oil moved into the lines

basically it leaks from the 2 areas that the head can swivel.
it is leaking more so from the red zone than the green.
