I was also able to get away with cleaning my belly pan thoroughly and not messing the gasket up.

Only took an hour or so. I would recommend getting extra oil if you do switch the filters out. They allow more oil to drain out.
Anything visible in the filter that made it obvious it was a good idea to change it? Did you have to by any gaskets for the pressure filter cover?
