Filter will stay completely full as points downwards. Some oil will remain in rest of system and particularly in the bearings. High quality synthetic oils are polar (ie hold an electrical charge, see magnatec adverts) and remain attached to metal surfaces. Use a decent oil and leave it at that.
Some cars have filters that point downwards which must drain drastically between every start, can't be prefilled on oil changes, but you don't hear of them going bang all over the place.
