Does anyone know of any way to fit a compressor hose adapter to a 10an line?

I feel like this would be one of the easiest ways to change the cooler oil without removing the bumper/cooler itself.
I thought of that before but stuck with the idea of leaving the almost quart in the cooler. too bad they don't have a petcock design drain plug so that i could drain of exactly one quart and then add one after starting and warming up to get a more dilute.

Also I have a ridgid 250psi (90psi constant off of pump) 2 tank 5 gallon compressor and realized that wouldn't be a good idea due to moisture build up. but it was a interesting and well though idea just not worth the risk.
