Most definitely I will, planning on changing the oil on Friday next week.
I think it was Hotcobra that was telling everyone to change the o-rings on the inlet/outlet valves that go into the intercooler, I would like to second that.
I almost didn't change them out until I pressure tested the system with the old o-rings and noticed that they were starting to leak under higher pressure. For the $1.14 it cost to get new ones, it probably saved me 2 hours of tearing the car back apart.

Good deal.
And yeah, you wouldn't believe how long it took me to find the "intercooler" in the helm manual. To us is seems strange because everyone calls it an intercooler on here, but when talking to Ford or some other places, they refer to them as charge air cooler.
In addition to those o-rings, if you ever remove the coolant crossover tube, replace those o-rings as well. They flatten out very easy.
