Ok, here’s one for the pro’s. I have always pre filled an engine oil filter, fuel filters, hydraulic filters, etc, when I do a scheduled maintenance. If I remember correctly, my engine builder said to pre fill to saturate the pleats so they don’t tear out or fail upon start up. My brother in law had an engine built by a very reputable engine builder in the off road race world that said that technique is very bad, and to install them dry. Something about an air bubble or something like that will cause damage upon startup if you pre fill them. Any thoughts? Oh, and Grads, move along, unless you can behave like a grown up[emoji12]
