If I just remove the oil filter, only about a quart of oil will come out right? Not all the oil, since it's technically higher than the oil pan.

Okay, I just dont have enough oil to do a full change, nor the money. So I figured new oil filter since I already have one, and top it off with whatever I lose and I'll be good.Your spot on ... but really not even that much ... You lose what`s in the filter and just a little spillage.... Just went through this ...
Why would you put a clean filter with dirty oil.. It doesn't matter if you "top it off" with clean oil, the oil is still dirty..Okay, I just dont have enough oil to do a full change, nor the money.

5 quarts is less than $30. If you can't afford that and own a dsm you're in a world of hurt.Okay, I just dont have enough oil to do a full change, nor the money. So I figured new oil filter since I already have one, and top it off with whatever I lose and I'll be good.

It dawned on me that these people don`t have a clue about Mitsubishi cars so I ordered a Fram Synthetic Oil Filter from Rockauto. I was not going to loose a hundred dollars worth of oil to change the filter so I swapped it out with the new one.
My point is, some times we have a reason for doing the odd things we do.
Thanks for the tip Eclipse5150x .... I know Mobil 1 Oil is a good brand but what weight should we use 5 w 30 10 w 30 ECT ...
