I have met a few people that always fill their oil filter before putting it on the vehicle. Something about starving the engine of oil when you start it for the first time with the new filter. Can someone explain this to me please?
I have never done it and have never experienced any problems either. No excessive wear in UOAs, no funny noises, nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, on my motorcycle, the oil filter goes on side ways so I don't know how you would keep the oil in the filter when you tip it on its side and screw it on. Seems very hard to do even if I tried to.
I was just curious as to what the general consensus on here would be.
