Chemical flush

So im getting parts lined up to tear into the daily driver 2006 6.0. We are definetly at the oil cooler change time. Whats the latest consensus on the chemical flush? Ive got 160000 miles on the truck. 80000 of which are mine. I installed a coolant filter shortly after I bought it. Ive dissected the filter a couple of times and it hasn't shown any contamination. Been running ELC coolant also since right after I bought it.
Thanks, Kevin

If your doing an oil cooler change I would definitely do a chemical flush first. The vc9 is a scale remover.
