How long does it take for oil to drain back into pan?
Remember that the oil inside is still hot, so instead of trying to catch the nut as it falls off, just let it fall into the oil pan and let the hot oil flow out. All of the oil should drain out in about two minutes.
Can you drain oil through the oil filter?
No. Removing the filter only removes the oil in the filter and less than a liter of oil in the lines going to the filter housing. If you really want to change your oil without pulling the plug out of the oil pan there is a tool for that.

Do you have to loosen up the oil pan?
If you clipped the corners of the timing cover where the front lip seal sits on the oil pan before you installed it then, no, you don’t even have to loosen up the oil pan. That is SOP whenever installing a new timing cover for me. Blown Camaro and budro6968 like this. NO!
Do you need to remove the timing cover?
The timing cover holds the front part of the oil pan gasket. ^ Correct. The pan needs to come down or you will bend the timing cover trying to remove it. Remove all oil pan bolts and leave the 2 rears loose and you’ll be able to remove the timing cover. Copo your advice is spot on I could not get the pan to drop until all of the bolts were loose.
