Re: To Fill or Not to Fill a New Oil Filter during Oil Changes...


I've always pre-loaded my oil filters before installing them. Those that
are at an angle I try to fill as much as allowed, soaking the filter
media, and adding more oil until it is saturated. I was always taught
that this is better because your engine isn't starting on a dry filter,
and having to "work" to fill it while it is starting.
