Truth or false about pouring oil in the oil filter

Topic starter

Hey Scotty would you dispel myths or the truth about, needing to add oil in the oil filter before installing it. I have always not put oil in to a new filter, I see others filling the oil filter with oil. Is this necessary and is it true. Thanks.

It is not necessary.

Is it necessary; no. But if it's easy to do (vertically mounted filter), it won't hurt anything. No big deal either way

When I owned Chevy trucks, I always filled the filter before installing it simply because it was mounted vertically and was easy to do.  I don't do it now because my vehicles have nearly horizontally mounted filters.
