We all have our opinions on this subject and some are more pigheaded about the yea's or nay's of prefilling it or not. I say, "A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!" I have been doing it for years and I have noticed that in some cars, knocking as well as the pressure comes up quicker with pre-filling the filter first.
The way to prevent oil from spilling out is to fill the filter first and let it sit while you drain the pan. You will notice that the oil has been soaked into the filter. I have even gone as far as adding more to the filter to ensure it's full. To each there own.

Hey, you do what you do, and I do what I do!

And as the poll states...three out four of us do it. Notice that not one person has offered up a why not reason other than the chance of spillage, and coming from someone who doesn't do it, how would they know how NOT to spill?

why beat the subject to death ? you are NOT going to change the mind of those that have their mind made up on the subject .

---

Not out to change anyones mind, just find it interesting. Kind of a sharing of experiences/practices/ideas. Oh wait thats Moparts!
I am surprised this thread has continued so long, and yea I am part of the reason--so are you John! Enjoy

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.

When I had my turbo Daytona,they told me point blank I'd better prefill it by cranking the engine over with the coil wire grounded. They claimed they had actually replaced some turbos and had seen premature turbo failures due to oil changes when people started them up with dry filters.

---

I have to LOL at that. At idle speed the turbine on the turbo is not even spinning, or if it is, it's barely just slightly moving. So unless you change your oil, start the engine up and immediately mash the pedal to full boost, I don't see how you could have a problem. Even then oil would get there so quick you could never do any damage.
