Oil Coolers and Oil changes

I'm actually curious now if those oil extracting devices work properly when you have an Oil Cooler installed...

no, they probably wont unless your thermostatic plate has reach opening temperature.

they will get the oil pan, and if you let the car come up to 220* then it might work but the order would be like

1 warm car up (just let it sit and idle)
2 crack open a beer or juice if your not legal
3 shut car down after your plate opens and starts circulating 180*-190* i would wait untill at least 220* so you have warmth when you want to fill everything new.
4 let it sit for a couple min
5 pull oil
*have to lift it to change filter anyways?*
6 fill new oil
7 start it up
8 let the oil fill the cooler
9 shut down and top off.

If that just sucks the oil out, with out draining the pan. Crap, dirt, gunk, metal shavings, will not be removed from the bottom of the pan! Not good!
