Default RE: DIY Maintenance: Oil Change

Don't know about the older owners manuals but in mine it said to fill the filter with oil before you install it and to take care to not get any dust, dirt in it or let any other objects drop in to the filter before you install it.

IIRC what I was told years ago is that it's hard on the Turbo bearings if you don't fill the oil filter before you install it.
