Some of it, but not all of it. What is sitting in the lines above and into the filter will.
After you put a new filter on, check the oil level and add until full again.

You will loose about one pint of oil.
+1 (it's not a lot but keep a pan under your filter so you do don't have a "gulf oil spill" in your driveway, a pint looks like a lot more than it sounds...Hehehe) Women, especially don't like to see those when they come home.

Nor do landlords and neighbors. My neighbors next door, who I share my driveway with and whose son owns this apartment, were all pulling in when I did my last filter change - just as I'd taken off the filter, and (as I had not used a drain pan) just as it was visibly doing its mini gusher onto the driveway. As they had just resurfaced the driveway the day before, I could not have picked a worse time to change the filter while forgetting to use a drain pan.
I thoroughly cleaned the spill and all was well. But I won't forget the pan again.
