I crack the top on the oil filter housing, pull the drain plug and let it drain overnight.

I also put a coffee can underneath the lower oil filter hose fitting at the cooler. I crack the fitting and let that drain overnight. It gets about 20 oz. of oil from the cooler.

Next morning, I change the filter, button it up, and fill it. Usually takes 7 quarts to bring it slightly above the low mark..........just where I want it.
