Just curious. I have recently installed an Oil Xchanger. I have a valve at the engine and obviously a valve on the Xchanger unit itself. My STBD side front side of the engine is difficult to get to. Just wondering if people with this setup leave the valve on the engine open leaving the valve on the unit closed and the only valve protecting the integrity of the system??? I do realize one would be allowing another failure possibility with the plumbing from the engine to the unit. But it sure would be nice not have to go upside down in the engine space every time I need to top up the oil. It is often at all...but still a PIA.
