Oil Change Question
I recently purchased a 2000 F-250 7.3L Turbo Diesel and I usually do all my own oil changes. Quick questions: After refilling the engine oil, is there any additional procedure that should be followed to make sure the turbo has sufficient lubrication prior to starting the engine for the first time?? Does draining the engine oil also drain the oil supply to the turbo charger??
Thanks in advance...

Nothing special, just fill it and the filter up and start. Use a 5gal capicity drain pan. Poke a hole in the filter before loosening it, so it will drain out. Because it holds a lot of oil.You can get the Motorcraft brand filters at Wally world about $10.
