Chris,
There will be some oil in the filter (less than one quart), some left in the pan based on the drain plug location, and some left in the engine. Being a little bit short on a change is not a problem. The problem is when you are adding oil between changes and have no or few leaks. The oil is going somewhere...usually out of the exhaust (think bad and expen$ive)
