As a point of reference, I drove my car 150 miles today to break in the bearings & rings after the rebuild, so I wanted to change the oil to get the assembly lube / break in oil out.
Drained the pan for a hour (went in and ate dinner. Spun off the filter, spun on a new one, then put the plug back in.
I then cut open the filter to check for contaminates and let the oil drain into the pan with the oil that came out of the engine, which was an additional 1/2qt
So even with the oil out of the filter, which you will not get unless you cut it open, I only ended up with a little over 9qts that came out.
I put 9qts new in, fired it up, and it fell right back to 1/3rd the way up the hash marks - maintaining the 10qt capacity of the system
Picture is of two jugs, 4.5qts in each that I poured out of my drain pan.
