Here's what I do. Do with it as you wish. I don't drop the pan at all. Don't want to get crud in it and don't want a leak. Instead, I take the return line from the cooler loose, start the engine and let it pump out. Stop the engine, fill with fresh fluid and repeat until I am only pumping out fresh fluid. Then I add an inline filter, reconnect the line, top off with fluid and I am ready to go. This way I have a fresh external filter and fresh fluid. However, my internal filter is still dirty but that's the tradeoff.
If you only drop the pan, you are only changing about a third of your fluid. I firmly believe in external filters and coolers and fresh fluid. I don't believe in flush machines at the lube shops. This way takes about 12 to 15 quarts of fluid. It would be better to also change the internal filter but I have not had any problems yet doing it my way.
