I still had a scary amount of zip oil pressure till it kicked up. Does anybody bother to do this? I have lousy oil pressure anyway, needs some new bearings. A * L * W * A * Y * S pre-oil the filter. I takes around a quart or so. She will tick for about 10 seconds before the oil pressure builds - much better than 60 seconds! And I always use a rag to wipe out the bottom of the oil canister to get the gunk off the bottom. And even though there are several different brands of filters, I have never been able to determine which is the best design... (makes me chuckle when I can buy an oil filter 3-times bigger than the Mercedes filter - at 1/3 the price!)
