Oil capacity with Oil Cooler Fitted

Is the oil capacity on my Z1000 any more with an oil cooler fitted ie should I be filling with more oil than standard quoted amounts ?

Oil fill level remains the same (don't go above the upper level).
If you have the cooler fittings at the top of the cooler it will hold a small amount of oil at standstill and this will slightly increase the capacity.
Just remember to drain the cooler at oil change time.

Just drain the oil as normal from the sump.
With the hoses at the bottom the oil won't sit in the cooler at standstill.
It will drain back to the sump on it's own so no need to drain it separately.
