just being creative here. take a cross screwdriver and punch a hole in the filter and you know the rest of the story. done that to a few in my time.
If you drain your oil cooler (I don't have one) you need to repurge the oil system because you have introduced a large air bubble into the system. If you don't do this you could have oil starvation problems.
Since I don't have a cooler I don't know the proper procedure for this, but this is what LEAF has said in maintenance seminars I have attended.
No, you do not introduce air into the oil system the way I do it. First I refill the oil tank with new oil. I then introduce low pressured air thru the overflow line on the top of the oil tank. This moves oil into the system but since the oil tank is full of oil the low pressure introduced air does not enter the enclosed oil system, it just causes the new oil from the tank to purge the old oil out of the system.
