Yes exactly. I usually first put the extractor doing it's job. Turn filler cap open but let it rest there. Open filter housing and lift it a bit so the drain on the bottom of the housing opens and let the filter drain there for a while. Then insert new filter and wait until the suction is complete. As a filter I prefer the rubber end types like Mahle/Hengst/Knecht opposed to hard ends like Mann. Also remember to check the condition of the two small o-rings on the filter cap stem (doesn't hurt to renew some times them if they are not included in the filter package).

I replaced those o rings with Viton ones so I would hopefully never have to change them again.
