is there a point to putting oil in the filter when you change the oil?When you start a car is there oil in the filter?
It's always preferable for there to be oil in the filter when you start a car's engine. Otherwise, the engine has no oil pressure for a short period of time. Filling a new filter with oil before you put it on helps prevent this, to a large degree.





If you don't put any oil in the filter when you put a new one on, then there is none until the oil pump fills it. Also, the oil galleys (the passages that feed the crank and cam bearings, and feed hydraulic lifters), tend to drain out when the filter is off.





Some filters are mounted horizontally, or even with the opening upside down, and it is not practical to fill them with oil before installation. In these cases, it is best to disable the ignition of the vehicle and crank the engine a little to fill the filter, before you start the engine.





Many oil filters also have a feature called an ';anti-drainback valve';, to prevent the filter from emptying every time the engine is turned off. It allows the oil to come in from the pump, but not go back out the other way.When you start a car is there oil in the filter?
