And before it's asked I attempted to fill filter with oil and made a mess. There is very little room under car and I have to balance filter housing in a tool with a 5inch ratchet extension. BTW I've never prefilled oil filters but the oil geek is making a case for it
You're overthinking this. Most Camry's get bulk oil and filters at too long of an interval and still go over 200k miles. You're miles ahead using quality products at a reasonable interval.At 9:20 in the video it shows a full 4 seconds of cranking before it gets oil pressure. My oil change this week I listened carefully and I gotta say, my engine didn't sound good for a few seconds, didn't sound happy at all
I know this, I was just wondering if there was an easy way to replicate 'clear flood mode' in a toyota.You're overthinking this. Most Camry's get bulk oil and filters at too long of an interval and still go over 200k miles. You're miles ahead using quality products at a reasonable interval.
Oh wow didn't think of that, thanksSimply pour new oil into the filter housing.
Guess you're right, he didn't do wear tests on empty vs prefilled filter, it was a long video, I saw those oil analysis results but I guess he was testing if the new unfiltered oil was dirty out of the containerI think I commented on this video somewhere here before.
The host clearly has a narrative and did meaningless tests to prove his was right. He didn't prove anything other than oil pressure rises quicker with a primed oil filter.
At no point did he test to see if any wear was caused in the few seconds of low oil pressure at idle when the filter wasn't primed.
Of course. It won’t hurt anything and is the easiest way.Oh wow didn't think of that, thanks
