Towing adds extra load and heat too.It's just like waiting for the oil light to come on before changing your engine oil.Also while in there changing the heat exchanger seems to be a good idea too.

As soon as we could see clean oil coming out of the heat exchanger we turned off the car, reconnected heat exchanger and topped up. We then test drove the car, rechecked the oil level.
