How much flowed over? Oil will be trapped in the filter base, and when the filter is removed gravity will do its thing. What was your other truck?

I've had some keep oil all the way to the top, and some that didn't. It's nothing to worry about

If you wait till the oil stops draining from the pan and then pull the filter off 99 percent of the time it wont overflow out of it. Ive also found out a cup on the four wheel drive trucks make it a hell of a lot easier than going from the top.
