great to know guys..i never thought of filling the oil filter though i figured once you start the car itll end up there asap..

I don't pre-fill the filter. I put in between 3.6 and 3.9 quarts. As long as it's reading full you'll be fine.

I fill the filter and also soak the gasket in oil before installing filter. Shops dont cause it takes too much time. I use a funnel and no mess.

By 'soak the gasket' do you mean rubbing a little oil on it or do you take it off and literally soak it?

the rubber seal of the TOYO oil filter is coated with what looks like vaseline

. So I don't put oil on the seal .
