Only 4 quarts? Withe the filter it usually takes 7+ quarts.
I changed the oil & filter today.  You wont get the filter off without a filter wrench.  I bought one 75mm 14 flute wrench from O'Reilly's auto parts part # 19903  $5.99
They stock it in store.  
Pulled the filter paper apart to inspect for metalic (magnetic) particles with none present except for a few flakes of aluminum.
Magnetic particles would be a concern as it is an indication of bearing wear. 
I also installed the magnetic oil drain plug.
You should come to an autocross at Qualcomm, and meet the gang.
I also highly recommend the Porshe performance driving school at qualcomm.
