Dack, have you changed it on the 1M yet? I did it exactly as you describe and probably didn't get all of the oil out of the engine. I put 6 qt in and the e-dip registered full. I had a LOT of oil left in the filter housing when I opened the filter and wondered if some of that would have gotten sucked out better if the filter had been open when I drained the pan. I had a nice gentle drain flow, though, no mess on the underpan.
