Question Mishimoto oil cooler line kit question.

There seems to be an incredible lack of information about this kit. There are zero (not even basic) installation instructions included with the kit or even on their website. It's fairly straight forward and you could just pull guides from other sets or sites, it just seems unprofessional for a kit to come with no information. The product is well made, but a lack of something as basic as paperwork has me reconsidering purchasing anymore of their products.

Anyways...
The issue that has me searching for information has to do with their kit's use of 4 braided lines unlike every other kit that uses 3. If someone has any information on that, I'd appreciate some incite. I came across a post on another forum that suggested one of the lines connects as an extension to the line that connects to the rear of the engine. That's my best lead so far.

EDIT - This is Mishimoto's actual installation section, when you search for the oil cooler kit #, they have zero installation information.

Thanks

Still haven't found any information about this kit anywhere online, it seems other's have the same issue. While Mishimoto claim the hoses are labeled, the only labels on the package of each hose has only a part number and has no indication of where each hose should be installed.

I've tried to inquire with Mishimoto about this on the video for this kit, and have had zero communication yet. I guess I need to start trying to contact them directly. If anyone has any other information about this kit, I'd appreciate the input.
Thanks

EDIT - I contacted Mishimoto customer support and they emailed me the information they put together for this kit. I'll be posting what they sent me in a seperate post on these forums so others will have the info they need.

*** EDIT - Apologies for not updating this post with the information Mishimoto sent me. Here are the diagrams I was sent.

@Sphere Did you share this info from Mishimoto? I can't find it - it would be useful (might be useful!) to work out which lines should go where. There's plenty of ways they can go and still work, but I assume they had one particular way in mind. Thanks
