Been doing this since I was a teen. Filling the filter gets oil to
the crank bearings much faster. Good idea on older high mileage

possibility of the rubber binding and perhaps not sealing.


And if you follow the tightening instructions, unlike the teenage
Godzilla at QuickyLube, you might even be able to get the damn thing off
without a lot of drama at the next oil chance.


Yep. Some clowns think a filter has to be torqued down. Snug and a
nudge tight works for me
