not really necessary. Like others stated, most of the oil (85% or so) gets changed everytime w/o dumping the oil cooler. Maybe if you are worried about it, you could empty the oil cooler like every 3rd oil chnage or something but I'm not planning on worrying aobut it.

Just as a reference, the GTR comes stock with an oil cooler, nowhere in it's scheduled maintenance is it ever mentioned to have to drain the oil cooler and that car has one of the strictest maintenance schedules of any motor vehicle on the road.
