Sonny, its my fault for not wording my post correctly. I wasn't saying that 'I did the oil change' towards you. I was saying that I did the oil change backwards.

1. drained oil-put drain plug back on
2. removed the filter
3. added oil

The oil from the filter drained back into the pan, which I didn't drain before I added the new oil.
Thanks for the link. Super helpful.
