Spin On Filter Adapter Installation Video

I just completed an oil change this weekend and after watching the video I was thinking about switching to the spin on filter adapter.

Jake, your video mentions that it is not necessary to drain the oil before taking off the filter and that approx 3/4 of 1 quart of oil will be lost. (I'll be sure to check the levels after and top off as needed...)

Should I be worried at all about more pouring out if the oil pan is full?

I have not removed the filter before when the car has been filled with oil; just a rookie looking for some reassurance that I won't leave a huge mess on the garage floor if I take off the housing and filter while everything is full.



Thanks,
Peter
