If you installed with fittings "UP" like most of the kits out there, just undo BOTH AN fittings and use air pressure to blow the oil out. A little messy, but way easier then front end disassembly. If you're so anal that you need to get every drop out, then by all means turn this in to a major project. Personally, it's really not worth the effort (or necessary) IMO..

and NO, you don't have to manually fill the cooler before starting the engine....The VQ pump is very high volume and will fill it virtually instantly. Fresh Oil that is not up to temp will be largely sent to the engine rather than the cooler anyway (assuming the correct use of a thermostatic plate)
