I’ve seen videos where folks have put a dab of oil on the outside part of the filter but I’ve also heard that you need to fill the filter with oil first before install?
Gotcha thanks jerry.I fill them when possible but not on my 4.0 since it is in a horizontal position.
Great minds think alike.I fill my filter, not all the way up, but a decent amount. I can still get it on without spilling any.
You smear some oil on the rubber seal on the filter, prevents it from sticking to the oil housing. Always double check your old filter to see that the rubber seal is still on it. One time in a hundred oil changes I had the old seal stick to the housing without realizing it…. What a mess!
See, this is really when we need that little guy rolling around on the floor blowing snot bubbles because of how hard he is laughing.
Ya'll are worried about oil in a filter on a piece of shit motor with a 12 psi oil pressure spec at idle? (hysterical laughing guy here)
I can fart that hard, put the filter on and fire that bitch up, won't hurt a damn thing.
Listen here forum asshole, Oil in the filter or not, I’m more concerned about lubing the filter seal. It only took one time for the seal to stick to the block and me not realizing it to ever make that mistake again!!! Im sure you know the mess that made.See, this is really when we need that little guy rolling around on the floor blowing snot bubbles because of how hard he is laughing.

There is one that stands outWhich one? There are many of us.
Agreed...people worry too much and do things the way grandpa showed them which is fine and doesn't hurt a thing but is extra steps. I think about my wife's jl with a cartridge filter...it doesn't have any oil at startup correct?See, this is really when we need that little guy rolling around on the floor blowing snot bubbles because of how hard he is laughing.

And I've run oil for 20k miles before changing without losing the motor, doesn't mean it's a good idear.That's my method for horizontal filters. Smear a little oil on the seal and screw it on. Full, half full or dry - doesn't really matter. Haven't lost a motor yet.
