Re: 6.0L oil: possible to change the filter w/out draining o
If you pull the drain plug on the filter housing, you will not drain most of the engine, just the filter and some or all of the tubes that run down to the filter.
You could carefully clean the drain plug area with a brake cleaner and then capture the oil that drains out into a clean container and re-use it.
Don't overtighten the filter housing, the o-ring makes the seal and it doesn't have to be very tight.
