Remote oil filter- fill before install

[jeepguy1948]

The only reason that I have ever hear (and I think it’s ridiculous) is that the oil poured into the filter would not be filtered. Seriously, you would worry about 8-12oz of brand new oil not being filtered??? My own belief is that if there is not a reason (other than convenience) to NOT pre fill then do it if it makes you warm and fuzzy inside
