W221 S63 Oil change/ Oil Cooler question

I recently acquired a W221 and was planning on doing an oil change. I have access to WIS and the instructions are saying to drain from the oil cooler as well as from the oil pan. I have searched Youtube/forums/etc for an M156 oil change and it seems like everyone is just draining oil from the pan (per usual) and nothing regarding an additional plug. Am I missing something here?

Attached are WIS instructions. I am sorry for the cell phone pictures- I am afraid to connect it to my main computer/internet due to potential activation issues lol

Don’t give yourself a headache with worrying about the half liter of oil in the oil cooler.

Drain the pan, pull the filter and fill it via the big opening.
