    Hey guys, just realized I forgot to change my oil filter with my oil change the other day. Any idea how much oil I can expect to drain out if i try to quickly swap the oil filter without draining the engine? Or should I just say fuck it and swap the filter next time? I use Toyota filters and change oil every 5k miles.

    Probably no more than 1/2 quart, it's just gona be whatever is in the filter and oil passages.
    Change it, run the engine, check the oil, and add as nessesary.
