Is in necessary? Or does the oil settle into the oil pan and not flow out the oil return lines?

No need to drain the oil

 

Sweet, thanks for the quick answer.

do you need to drain coolant?

 

drained the coolant to avoid a mess...
remember to replace the necessary studs..gaskets..nuts..

 

You don't really have to drain the coolant. I just used some 3/8"? vacuum caps and quickly plugged the lines when I pulled them off. I only lost about a cup of coolant. Just make sure to burp the system after.

 

good measure to drain if time to flush and replace...

 

Exactly - I drain and replace the coolant whenever it's convenient - lets me feel more comfortable about not 'flushing' it.
