Oil cooler fitting question

Replacing my oil cooler on a Lehman 135. The oil fittings are male threaded both ends, one side screws into the cooler and the hoses attach to the other end. The hose side seems fine, the hoses screw all the way on. The oil cooler side only goes in about 3 turns. Is this normal or will it leak? Don't want to find out the hard way. They go in maybe one turn more on the old cooler vs the new one. Are these threads pretty standard or could this be a straight or tapered thread problem? I'm using the fittings that were on the old cooler.
