Quote: Well, here`s a little tidbit for y`all right out of the FSM for my truck:
(7) Using a new pressure relief valve gasket, install the relief valve plug. Tighten the plug to 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) torque. (8) Install oil filter that has been filled with oil.
Is that not from a pump repair section? I believe they want you to do it that way so the crank driven pump does not lose its prime. What does the book state in the maintence section on filter change??
Filter is after the pump. Why would it matter?
BINGO: The filter is after the pump BUT before the oil gets to the bearings from the pump, the filter must first fill so the pump can build pressure to send the oil on to the rest of the engine.
