thats a small cup you have there chow...the capacity of the oil cooler is .9 litres which iirc is close to a pint and a half....i have never drained more than 5 litres from a oil change and as the capacity is 5.9 litres it would suggest that .9 litres is left...both the inlet and outlet hose to/from the cooler enter the engine well above the sump so will not be subject to any gravity..i would prefer to agree to disagree (as usual lol)..flushing your oil cooler can cause no adverse effects and therefore imo it is well worthwhile...i would not consider a flush agent as surely you cannot beat the recomended engine lubricant...
cheers
