Stan MI Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 This has got to have been asked before but I tried the search and can't find it.For specifics, I'm going to be doing my first oil change on a 2014 Ford Transit Connect with the 1.6L Ecoboost.Oil filter is on the side (read that as a pain in the .....). When installing the new filter is there any advantage/need to prefill the new filter with oil before installing it ???????Had a tech tell me because it's the Ecoboost it must be filled first or I'll burn out the turbo. Since the filter is on the side I can't imagine I could get very much oil in it. Not to mention the filter is a pain to put in and take out.Looking for some help from someone who has "been there done that" SORRY, ALSO POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG FORUM !!!!!
