I found a flaw in their oil change... They did the drain n fill AND THEN changed the old oil filters. I would have put on NEW oil filter and NEW oil, then idle for X amount of time and then change the oil and oil filters again like they did.
who's with me on this?
But, then you'll cause more wear. Because the filter will be dry for two start up's, rather than just one start up.
Who's to say I will spin on dry filters? I'm one of the few on here who feels there's noticeable different in engine noise / oil pressure after an oil change when the oil filter is primed with oil vs completely dry.
I ALWAYS prime my oil filters on ALL the cars I service. My 98 Camry V6 had the oil filter mounted in the exact same position as the LFA. I'd still prime it by filling it up with oil to the brim and then wait a few minutes to while the oil soaks up into the filter media. Spinning it on afterward would result in no oil spilled but the engine noise would be decreased and the oil pressure light would go off sooner vs spinning on a dry oil filter.
When I used to change the oil but leave the filter on, the oil pressure light would go off almost instantly upon startup and there would be practically no valvetrain chatter, showing that a primed oil filter DOES help with dry start.
Having said that, if that was my LFA and I was doing the double oil change, I'd change the oil filter during the initial drain as TWO (2) oil filters could be holding a good half a quart of used oil.
