I stopped in at a Mobil station and had my oil changed because it was such a low price $80 for 0-40 Mobil 1 (although I provided the filter). I pulled in at 5:30 and they closed at 6pm. So no they didn't allow enough time to drain out all the old oil. Probably half a quart of the old stuff still in there. Looks like I'll be changing the oil again in six months.
