I need to know if you absolutely have to oil the filter before u put it on

 

Put some oil on your finger and run it around the oil filter gasket for sure. Filling the oil filter itself with oil is optional.

 

I would love to use royal purple but that is some expensive stuff

 

dont double gasket the filter, or forget to put the drain plug back in, or start it without oil, cuz that always makes me laugh

 

^^Both of these^^
BTW, You can pre-fill the oil filter but you may lose most if not all of it when you go to put it on because of the angel it goes on.
Also when you change it, do it when the engine is a little warm so the oil drains out easier.

 

I just did everything mentioned here about 20 minutes ago. I put just a little bit of oil in the filter because I know I'm going to lose it. A little on the gasket, a little inside and install the filter. Then fill 'er up!

 

 

Yer doin' it wrong.....

HAhahaaha THAT was some funny stuff

 

I normally just oil the gasket on the filter with my finger. Crank in on there hand tight. Pour in 5qts. Start it for a few seconds to prime the filter. Then top it off. Works like a charm every time.

 

every other vehicle i have owned i always filled the filter... hrmm... yea, no dice there...

 

If you're that concerned about it. Then unplug the coil and spin the motor over a few times before actually firing off the motor. That should help fill up that oil filter.

 

hahahah i needed a good laugh. and that did it.

 

Omg I laughed hard on that one. Gonna have to show it to my pops.
