is it possible to just change the filter every 3000 miles without much oil wasted?
or is it going to drip the full 4 quarts?

If you look at that study...they didnt change the filter until I believe it was 12k. Im pretty sure that changing your filter whenever you change your oil is perfectly fine for the filter. Get you some strong magnets and a magnetic drain plug if your really worried about it.
