That reminds me, I too also was reading that the owner's manual says to drain the oil, put the plug back in, add the correct amount of new oil, then replace the oil filter. This is how I did it the first two oil changes I had the truck, then just last night I totally forgot about doing it that way, cause at the same time I was changing the oil on my aunt's Grand Cherokee. I drained the oil, put the plug back in, took the oil filter off, and as soon as I went to get a rag to clean the oil filter head, I remembered, and went "Oh SH$T!" I just winged it and put some new oil in the new oil filter and screwed her back on hand tight. Put in 5 quarts, plus a can of that Engine Restorer, and then ran the motor, checked for leaks (none of course), turned off the motor, waited, checked the oil level, added the 6th and final quart, and called it quits.
Did I do something that might've screwed with the oil pump?
I don't think I did, she still drives, and runs.
