Hey Phil,
No, the oil will not drain from the front hoses and cooler if just the pan plug is removed.

I did a complete draining once. I removed the oil pan plug, removed the oil cooler, and drained the hoses. It was a nuisance and messy.

My capacity is about 11 quarts with Aviaid pan, large filter, hoses and cooler. Removing just the oil pan plug and changing the filter leaves less than 1 qt. of used oil left in my system. I can live with that. Now......if we're talking kidney dialysis, I'd opt for the complete flush.
