Hey, Everyone.
Quick question. In the past, all of my vehicles had the standard oil can oil filter. When changing oil, I would lube the o-ring, pour a little oil inside the filter, and put it on. In my Tundra, there is a cartridge filter. The filter element slides down over the metal core, and the filter housing is a couple inches tall. I lubed the o-ring, but do I pour oil in the small bottom of that cartridge housing like I did the canister versions or no? Just trying to make sure I don't screw something up because I did not do that when I changed my oil this past weekend. Any harm done ya think? I really just want to know what is best to do for the next change. I appreciate any comments. Thanks!
