Did you prefill the filter? If you didn't, once the system is primed you'll lose 1/2 qt to the filter.
My method is drain the pan hot... while it's draining I contort my arm in such a way I can get to the filter. By the time the filter is loose and not burning my hand I move the pan and pull the filter. While that is finishing the drips I'm prefilling the filter and lubing the o-ring. Get back under the truck put in the plug and slide in the new filter. Takes 7 qts (or damn close) to fill.
