How much oil Do you place oil in the oil filter when changing oil?

Answer:

Pouring oil in the filter is not needed during an oil change. Coat the rubber gasket of the filter with a thin coat of oil using your finger to ensure a tight seal and screw on the filter. Oil will naturally enter and circulate through the filter after new oil has been added at the conclusion of the oil change.
