I have enough trouble getting a primed filter up on that stud without spilling half of it out over the back of the engine.... actually trying to mount parts back there... oye... pass. lol Thats half the reason I don't have oil press/temp gauges. lol I even have cheap ones in my posession!
I will NEVER not prime a filter on a turbocharged vehicle. I have considered pulling the coils off and cranking it, but... well the engine cover is in my way. LOL
