oil cooler question, need a quick answer

i was just curious, and i cant see any reason that it would matter, but anyway which inlet on the FC oil cooler is the inlet and which is the outlet, im pretty sure the one that faces towards the drivers site is the inlet and the one that points towards the ground is the outlet
can anyone confirm?

I would say the flow direction maters because of the thermobypass.

Its the same thing dude....bfd.

Oil comes in the top...oil leaves out the bottom. The FC cooler has the Thermo bypass in the same spot.

That picture is out of a S5 fsm....
