Do not recommend filling the oil filter on ANY Suby engines.

Think about the premise of this thread. It's all about purging the air from and filling with oil the galleries, passages and ports. If you take a dry filter element, and fill all the media's pores with oil, it has a harder time pushing the air through it. Which means it's more difficult for the pump to prime. What the difference is, I can't say. Most (nearly all) new EJ engine priming issues we've come across have been when customers filled the oil filter with oil.
