Try filling a stock Slant 6 Oil Filter prior to install....Aint gonna happen without a big mess




Try it with a 383/440.




On the 440 I can easily fill the filter to about 1/2 way and still spin it on without spilling a drop. Done it MANY times.




Whats the point, other the the obvious? These engines are almost bullet proof. You think they filled the filters back in the day? Think not.




If the point is obvious (and it is), why are you asking for another?

Bearings need lubrication on any engine, the sooner the better, its well understood that most engine wear occurs at start up (and thats with a FULL filter), why needlessly prolong (even slightly) getting the lubrication underway at first fire after oil change?
