Ben, why fill the filter with oil before fitting? surely that going to be messy.

Its not too bad - the angle for install on the MK2 is fairly shallow. Try doing it on a Peugeot 206 - where the filter is installed upside down!

I guess its just habit and as Wayne said, to help prime the system.

I don't think it makes any difference.
On some cars it would be impossible to do, Audi A8 for example  :grin:
