Default Going from Aeroshell 100 to Philips X-country oil

I am planning on changing from Aeroshell 100 to Philips X-country 20-50 and was wondering do I need to drain the oil that is in the oil cooler prior to making this transition or the two brand are compatible enough that the little that is left in the oil cooler is not of any concern. Any other recommendation any one has?

Thansk in Advance

Any and all approved aviation oils may be mixed without problems.
