Yeah, what the hey. I'll get oil and a filter and we'll hook up

If you suck oil out of the cooler, how will you refill it? I don't think you want a 2-quart pocket of air that the oil pump has to fill before it gets oil to the engine.

Definitely change it if you don't know for sure, as you said it is cheap insurance.
