K20 oil filter removal question

Messages

I've changed oil and filter a few times on my Ep3 but have a question. Can you change the filter without draining the oil? Basically, does the oil sit below the filter level in the sump?
 
Why would you want to? For the sake of the 30 minutes it takes and £30 odd, just change the oil as well.
 
If it is below the level it won’t be by much. You could always drop a little oil and put it back in again.

Jack that side of the car up too, that’d help.
 
Cheers, looking at the filter position I would imagine it is close. I have a pump so could remove a litre first. Just an understanding question and not something I'm likely to do :)
