Hi, I just got a new car it has a remote oil filter with 2 filters. I had a leak so I took it off to check the O-ring. When I put it back on I put it out of the motor to out on the filter by (mistake)and started the motor just 20 or 30 seconds to see if the leak stopped then turned it off. The motor had new oil call the man that sold me the car told me that it had to go back out of the motor to in on the filter so I switched it back my question is did I hurt any thing.

"Probably" didn't hurt anything, especially if the motor is not fresh. That said, might be time to pull the pan and a couple bearing caps.

The outer side of the filter(OD of it) is ALWAYS the
inlet side... it has greater surface area to catch
more trash... like was said if its been a running
engine you didnt hurt anything... put the fittings
on right and run it... cut open the filter to check
it out

It should be fine... just get the lines on right
and cut the filter open to check it out
