I just watched a You-Tube video where the mechanic said that when doing an oil change you should pour oil into a new oil filter before you install it.
The mechanic explained that if the filter is not pre-filled with oil, the engine will be pumping air into the hydraulic lifters until the new filter is filled and that having air in the lifters will cause a ticking sound in the engine.
Do any of you guys pre-fill your oil filters? It sounds logical, but I've never heard of doing this this before. I have never done it and never noticed any problem.
