Oil changes with coolers?

wstar · 04-22-2009, 11:20 PM

I asked this question in a couple of mfg-/install- specific threads, but I haven't seen any answers. I've never had to install a separate oil cooler on a car before, and I want to know how this affects oil changes. How do you get the oil out of the cooler on drain? How do you get the car + cooler refilled?

Obviously I could just figure it out some gimpy way, like blowing the oil out of the cooler with a compressed air line, and pumping it back into there with some kind of fluid pump, but there must be a better/standard answer for how people deal with this right?
