It's not a dry sump.

It is if you don't have enough oil in it.

I should have answered my own question here instead of subjecting myself to this. I didn't intend on making "Another epic oil thread"-nor did I intend to incite bickering or snide remarks among other forum members. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

For anyone who has ever pondered the repercussions of replacing a filter while filled with oil, only about a half-cup of oil dribbled out after the filter was spun off on my vehicle. I replaced the stock filter with a Purolator PSL14610.

Thanks everyone that helped.

Here is the diagram I used to postulate my understandings prior to trying the removal.

I detected no abnormal snideness nor bickering in this thread.  This is a normal set of replies as far as I'm concerned.  We make fun of each other and generally have a good time for the most part.
 

Yeah, it can be a rough crowd.     I do not think any of it was directed at you really, it is just that you said the magic words.... which are usually any words in English at all. Sometimes I think things were better back when the Internet was printed on newspaper and rebuttals were in the form of 'letters to the editor', which were printed days or weeks later and never, ever on the front page.

But on the bright side, you got a new filter on your bike, a bunch of people had fun (or at least what passes for fun I guess) and the Earth got a bunch more rotations behind it. And on a personal note, I think a few strategically placed 'Easy Boys!' would have gone a long way to making this a better thread (read: it would have made me chuckle).

I used to postulate

I still do, if the mood strikes.

What happens if I remove my oil filter when the bike is still full of oil?

oil spill.

Working in the oil business, I have fears of those pics.

   

I shall consider myself duly publicly flogged. Even though Gibbs considers it a sign of weakness, I apologize...no rudeness was intended.
