Yep and twenty seconds after you start the engine all that oil is filtered anyway.
I fill my filters out of habit but I am starting to realize that today's oil pumps work a lot faster and coupled with thinner oils and smaller filters makes this a moot point. This is not your old Chrysler with 10w40 and a filter that holds a quart in itself.
Great points PimTac ^^^^^^^^
Except that the debris that you put on the CLEAN side of the filter is straight into your galleries and areas of minimum oil film thickness (tenths of microns) before they make it to the sump...versus just putting them in the sump to be filtered.
(Oh, that and the foil, or the silver fish in the bottling plant)
Is the silver fish big enough to fillet ??
Does it taste like say flounder or cod ??
Hey... I don't prefill any filter either... I thought about your thinking on this and it made good sense to me.
Though I think it's not like stuff from 40-50 years ago either.
