I agree.. How on earth can you prefill a filter, then flip it upside down to install it without making a mess?
Prefilling is a waste of time in my opinion, unnecessary.
One can theoretically just wet the filter media to save the time it might take for a dry filter to soak oil before it flows through. I've partially filled filters mounted horizontally, so there's a way.
