Default Oil change with Oil Cooler??

For you guy's with Harley Oil Cooler's. How do you get the old oil out of the oil cooler. We just bought my wife a 2010 SG Trike. As you know, it comes with the 103 and an Oil Cooler. Just wondering what trick's you guy's come up with. I was thinking take one of the hose's off and blow it out with my air compressor???? Got a service manual coming, But I don't know if it will cover that. Thanks

I dont think there is enough old oil in there worth draining.
I just change the oil and call it good.

But to answer your question,I think you would have to remove the lines and blow the oil out with compressed air.

Dont worry about this small amount of oil. There's actually much more oil in the engine that you dont get to when doing changes. Just drain it out the plug, do the filter and refill.

Wouldn't worry about it too much. Not too much oil stays in there. Just change the oil you should be good.

If anything,check the clamps and lines for chaffing.

Don't worry about that small amount of oil. You will potentially create more issues by removing hoses and trying to remove this oil.
