Do you put oil in freezer before filter?
Because of the water in the used oil, I place the oil in the freezer for a few hours or overnight before filtering. When I’m ready to filter, I pour off the oil from the top of the container, leaving the water and sediment behind in the bottom. The container is wiped clean for the next use, and the oil drains through the filter.

Do you have to change the oil every time you change the filter?
You need to drain the oil (let it drain as completely as possible) and put new oil inane run the engine.

You need to change the filter with each attempt as well.
