Getting ready to do my 5th oil change. I see the filter housing doesnt fully drain. Is it supposed to? Leave about a 1/2 cup of dirty oil. Is it supposed to? Last time i sacrificed a shitload of shop towels to get it out. What is a better way? Im not outting this back into the fresh oil

That's is normal. It's mean the anti-drain back valve is doing it's job. I wouldn't worry about it, but you can suck it out if you do.

Also did you just run the engine? I've read that it takes about 30-45mins for oil trickle back down to the pan.

This is a job for ......... Mityvac. Get one - it will change your life. I've had one for years. In fact, I wore it out and had to order parts to rebuild.
