Do I need to put oil in my oil filter when changing the oil in my 96 GT?
Or just screw it on and then add all the oil to the oil fill? |

You always want to lube the seal when replacing the filter. The OP was asking if they fill the filter with oil prior to installing it.
This would be fine on a car with the filter on the bottom of the motor (subarus, for example) because once installed the oil will stay in, but the 5S is side-mounted, so you'd probably spill oil everywhere when installing, and whatever you don't spill out will simply drain into the oil sump before you're done topping off (thanks gravity).
