Hi lads
I have read on many forums and seen a few 'you tube' vids stating that when filling the OM642 Engine, half the oil must go in via the filter housing.
Some say this primes the oil pump, others say it lubes the big end bearings.
Is this an urban myth that has 'grown legs' by being repeated umpteen times on the internet or has it a sound basis in fact?
Thanks.
