My Honda is a bottom mounted oil filter and the Subaru is a top mounted oil filter. I do not pre fill my oil filters, ever. I have never had an issue, never heard increased noise upon initial startup after an oil change. But, I am thinking, am I doing real harm by not pre filling? How would you pre fill the Subaru without leaking oil?
What are your thoughts on pre filling the oil filter with new oil during your oil change?
