Makes more sense to replace it with another new one now to avoid that.


That is a possibility.

That means having a clean container in which to catch all the brand new
oil just put in the crankcase...or a refill of what loses in the process.

Not the optimal thing to have to do when can just back off the present a
little.

It all depends... On my Toyota you can remove the filter and just lose
the contents of the filter. If that's the case on the OP's engine,
filling the filter with fresh oil should be good enough. I do that
during a normal oil change out of habit.


That is true of virtually every engine built with an oil filter
