Do you lose oil if you change the oil filter?
You’ll indeed lose some oil if you just change the filter. But not nearly as much as if you completely drained the crankcase. The oil filter is fairly high up on the engine, compared to the drain plug.
Do you drain the oil first or remove the filter?
I always remove the filter, first, and then drain the oil. The only oil I lose when I remove the filter is the oil that was in the filter. The rest stays in the engine oil pan. The reason I do it in this order is that while the oil is draining, I’m installing a new filter. It saves me a little time.
