During and oil change, is it normal for 2-3 inches of oil to be sitting in the bottom of the oil filter canister even after I drain the oil from the oil pan? I always find myself soaking it up with a rag, or siphoning it out, which is a mess!

That is normal. A technique I stole from another bolter is to use a cheap turkey baster and jus suck it out with that. Works just fine with out useinng up a rag.
