    Do you prefill/prime your oil filter ??????

    Thanks for all the replies !!!! I really appreciate it !! I think in the future, if I can, I will, if it doesn't make sense, I won't !! In this case it didn't make sense. I can't imagine what Ford was thinking when it designed the filter location for this engine. What a pain !! Thanks again...

    Do you prefill/prime your oil filter ??????

    This has got to have been asked before but I tried the search and can't find it. For specifics, I'm going to be doing my first oil change on a 2014 Ford Transit Connect with the 1.6L Ecoboost.

    rotella T6 in a 6.4 and Cold weather ????

    I can't speak for your particular engine, or even switching viscosities or base stocks in diesels. However, I would notice a different sound coming from the turbo on my old Audi when switching to a lighter oil for winter. It was similar to what you described. Viscosity change was from a 15w-40...

    rotella T6 in a 6.4 and Cold weather ????

    You are correct it has always been louder when it's cold. What seems to be new is the louder sound of the turbo when it's cold. This is my 5th ( delivery 5-07) Winter with the truck. First with T6. Probably the answer to my question is to do an oil change with Motorcraft and see if the noise...
