I'd have said the hot side as you want to bring the oil up to temps as quickly as possible.

On my Tuscan...and assume for all S6 engines, the cooler is plumbed straight off the engine water pump.

I've plumbed mine into the flow side just after the water pump before it enters the block. so cooler than the hot side as your ultimately trying to cool the oil , it's never going to be 100% efficient so it's going to take out more heat using the cold side. I've also fitted an 82deg thermostat, I shall see how it cools and post my finds
