Default RE: DIY Maintenance: Oil Change

I often wondered if you should fill the oil filter up with oil before installing it but over the years I have NEVER seen or heard of anyone doing it. It will be a new step for me from this point forward, thanks for the write up!
I filled my first. It took almost the entire quart (just a few dribbles left). I imagine it would take awhile to get oil circulating through the engine if the pump had to first fill the filter...

Better safe than sorry and since the filter goes in vertically there is no mess.
