oil flow question; aftermarket cooler and remote filter mount

I am mounting an engine oil cooler on the roll bar the bed of my Pick up, approximately 6' away from the oil hoses coming out of the engine. I am adding a remote oil filter off of the same hoses. I was wanting to use -12an hoses and ports. The cooler advertised -14 ports but came with -10 orb ports. Is it ok stepping down to -10orb from -12an into the cooler? Then stepping back up out of the cooler from -10orb to -12an?

The cooler advertised -14 ports but came with -10 orb ports.

You're referring to the size of the hose in the above quote, no?

I went to a fitting website to get a grasp of your situation.
The sizing numbers they use are new to me.
Aside from adapting sizes (takes more space, higher chance of leakage), I'd bet the oil will just flow.
Are oil coolers sized with gallon per minute numbers?
