Yes, just to the very bottom of the handle.
That's a great idea. I alway pre-fill oil filters to eliminate the long wait time for the oil pressure to build.
I pour a 1/2 qt. of oil in the new filter and then wait a few moments for the oil to saturate the paper media before installing. None of it spills out.
The pressure comes up within 2-3 seconds, twice as fast as when using an empty filter.
I cannot see a downside to doing this.
I do this as well... I fill the filter clear full (I use a oil filter for a mid 80s mustang 5.0, it works trust me, bigger filter), and let the filter soak up the oil. I then install the filter, and very little if any spills. I moved my charcoal canister up in its mount (for better clearance installing oil filter) and have the whole thing basically down to a science though.
If you swap to the newer SAE threads, then the filters mentioned above will work.Keep in mind these guys are talking about HO XJs, this will *not* work on Renix XJs.
Personally I like the placement of the Renix filter better than the HO, I find the spills more containable with it (I each).

Which way do they point? My '92 it is upside down, the '96 it points to the starter. Both positions have their own disadvantage. Is it possible to clock the mount? Make the '92 filter point another way, so you don't dump ALL of it by the time it's unscrewed!
When did this sticker start- HO, '91? This is on my '92, and I've always wondered

This is seriously why a filter relocation kit is the way to go.
That sounds like an EXCELLENT idea! Does anyone offer a plug-n-play kit, on should I improvise?
