There are two oil capacities in the owner's manual. One without filter and one with filter. I always assumed that meant the filter was intended to be pre-filled.
Apparently I was wrong...

Replace the oil filter
Keep the oil drain pan underneath the car and locate the oil filter.
Loosen it with the filter wrench, turning it counterclockwise. Remove the oil filter by hand.
Before installing the new oil filter, apply a little motor oil to the new gasket. This will prevent the gasket from sticking, cracking or causing an oil leak.
Finally, install and tighten the new oil filter by hand.
