Also, should I pour oil in the filter canister when I replace the cartridge, or should I just let it re-fill from the crankcase?
Anybody know if Napa, etc..... carries the replacement filters, or do I need to order one from ChevyDuty? Thanks.

They had it in stock too. about $9. Had to go to another location not all stores carry them, may have to have one located at another store for you. Brad  | | |

And it really doesn't matter on the 235 if the filter is dry or not. It's a bypass filter (unless someone has modified the engine), and it is not in the line to lube the engine. Oil for the filter is tapped of the distribution rack, goes through the filter, and back into the engine. Not even that much difference if all the oil is pumped through the filter. When you start a full flow engine after a filter change there is enough oil left on the bearing surfaces to idle for a few minutes before any damage will occur. Do you ever fill the filter on your car when the filter is at an angle behind the exhaust manifold and above a wire bundle? Neither do I.

yes do fill your new oil filter with oil every time you change oil that will give your engine a head start

The filter is the only thing that I'll buy at our Checker Auto Parts. They always have one and only one. I always fill up the filter canister before capping it because I'm superstitious, I guess.
