If you have'nt started the engine since changing the oil, it hasn't drawn any oil to the filter yet. You should be able to change the filter without losing any. If you do lose a bit of oil ,have a spare quart on hand.. just in case. You will likely have to add a bit after the new filter fills up anyway.
