Yes definitely (the filter is full of the old oil) , and when you put a new
filter on rub a little bit of clean oil on the sealing ring of the new filter
before you screw it in.  [though it would be a real pain in the neck (to say
the least) to put on a new filter after you already changed the oil]  You
should pick up a Haynes manual.  I just got mine it's great!!  A hell of alot
more user friendly then the expensive Bentley manual ($60 ++) !  Though i
would recommend having both.  I believe you can get the Haynes manual for
$24.95 through the Bus Depot (http://www.busdepot.com).
