Can I change the filter without losing a lot of oil or will it all come out if I just change the filter?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had some recent CPO service done which required them to drain and replace the oil. However they didn't put in a new filter (which I would gladly paid for). Can I change the filter without losing a lot of oil or will it all come out if I just change the filter?

POST 2Original post

Yes, you can change the filter w/o loosing all the oil. You will get some dripping but nothing much in excess of what would normally happen. In fact, this is a common procedure to deal with places that overfill when doing an oil change as you will lose the 1/4 quart or so that is in the filter housing. BTW - Are you sure they put in new oil and didn't reuse what they took out when doing the work - which is actually a fairly common practice?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure about that actually. I need to review the paperwork when I go back in on Monday. The fuel flap stuck so that was just fixed under CPO (separate issue from the oil replacement).

POST 4Original post

It has only been necessary once or twice but whenever the oil needs to be drained for any engine work I always insist the oil and filter be replaced, if necessary at my expense. If you decide to replace the oil filter when you remove the oil filter housing have a clean drain pan handy and catch the oil and what have you. From the oil's condition/color you can tell if the oil is new/fresh or if the oil was reused. Sincerely, Macster.
