In my case I've been prefilling the oil filter for years, after I decided to add up all the dry starts! ouch!
When you add oil to a new filter (that will be installed nearly straight up) it takes a while to sink thru
all the filter media and the level will drop, so I top it up several times until it's within 1/2" of the top,
figure it'll take 15 minutes to saturate the media inside the filter.
