[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 15850430, member: 138028"] Vertically and diagonally (SBF engines) mounted oil filters (with the gasket up) should be filled with oil before install, helps the engine built oil pressure almost immediately. The only time filling a filter will be difficult to do is if the filter mounted horizontally to the engine. Z06, Shelby and GF's Mazda gets filter prefilled with oil before install, my DD Suzuki SX4 doesn't (filter mounts horizontally) so what I do here is make sure the oil in the containers is kinda warm........(summer time no issue since my oil is stored in the garage and flows good from the bottle, winter time I'll bring the required amount into the house to get it to room temp before adding to the car when doing a change).
