Re: What a dumb ***
I usually use new oil to lube the oil filter ring...I know there's more old
oil left in the engine than any amount of old oil that could be introduced
by lubing the o-ring, but the way I see it why introduce more old oil than
you have to?

Old-timey guys used to hold the old filter (if not gritty) with the O-ring
side up and press the new filter O-ring to it. The oil that spilled when
the old filter was spun out is enough to lube the new one, and there'll
be no dry spots.
