You don't have to drain the oil to change the filter. The oil in the engine
is blocked on one side by the oil pump and on the other side by the oil
oil galeries in the engine. When you spin off the engine you will lose
little more oil than what is in the filter, which will cause the iol to need
topping off any way.
I would prefer to move away from dino based oil and go to something that
is more earth friendly.
Peace,
Pat
