I hope this is where the Common Sence Contest posts are to be done!
When changing your oil filter (filters), always, always, always, PREFILL the filter!! That way when the motor is turned on, it gets oil pressure much sooner than if the oil pump had to first fill the filter. This eliminates the motor dry running for a few seconds.
Again, most TDR probably members do this, but it shocks me at how many do not do this or even know why that would be a good thing to do.
It is just commen sence.....
