Do you guys fill your oil filter with oil before you put it on? I have never done that but this year someone told me to ALWAYS do that, and that's the first person I've ever heard say that.
If your filter position allows you to do that, you should always fill it.
Also you don't want to drain and chage your oil without running it for a few minutes before hand. This establishes and oil film on all the moving parts so that when you do change your oil and filter you don't "dry" start your motor.
