Why you should not fill the filter with oil before installing it
What is placed inside the filter and why is it not necessary to fill it with oil before changing it? An experienced driver will notice: the right operation, which ensures the minimum engine running time "dry". However, what would you say in response to the author of the video on the “Inflated Wheels” channel, which clearly proved that the engine can run without lubrication if it is at idle!


Most experienced car owners fill in fresh oil before changing the filter. But, as it became clear, it is not only useless, sometimes it can be harmful. Such a procedure was considered necessary and was described in the old Soviet instructions and books on the operation of cars of different brands. But today is a different time! The author also tells how to select a filter and what to look for. Indeed, some car owners select this part according to the thread: if it is screwed on and does not interfere with other motor components, it will go!

What else can be said about the filter and what is the difference, for example, between an expensive original and a cheap part? The author of the video sawed several consumables from famous manufacturers (including for Nissan, Toyota) and not very much. Everything should be the same inside: a filter element (paper), plus a valve, and its rubber band. But there are still nuances and they just affect the quality of the product. But what? You will learn about it from the video!
