The oil filter is located above the oil pan, so the only oil you will lose is what's in the filter itself. Make sure to change the filter again after the flush has been run through and before the fresh oil is added.

Yep, that's it. Buy the cheapest filter you can find to run the flush through. It's only going to be on there for a 1/2 hour at most. Use the good filter before you add the fresh oil.
