Pre-fill? Or don’t pre-fill?
ALSO… try the trucker guide app. You will thank me later.
Pre-fill help to pump oil more fast into the system.
I don't know..just asking..but as you put more oil in, doesn't it after a certain level fill the filters?
@@wilE6764 maybe next time I’ll try that lol. I doubt it tho because the sump where filters are and pan are separate from each other.
They fill after engine start up ,you didn't prove anyone wrong with only one gallon of oil obviously,
Pre-fill obviously, you proved your point when you poured oil with the filters off and nothing came out. Really makes sense though to pre-fill.
I worked for Volvo for 5 years and I’ve been a truck mechanic for 10 years, you don’t need to pre fill your oil filters. Once the engine is running the oil filters fill up very fast and it won’t cause any damage to your engine.
That being said I’ve never heard of major engine damage caused by pre filling your oil filters either, the main thing is you’re changing your oil on time and using good oil and filters
head the pump holds oil so as soon as truck is turning over the oil is alreadu going to the filters. but 1-2 seconds of no oil going to the bearings wont be the end of them. they should have residual oil in the bearings anyways. i fill it up all the way in one go and then by time it sits for a couple seconds its less than half full and throw them on the engine. Never had an issue
same goes to freight shaker
Drew- If anyone would know the correct procedure it would be you.
i always believe what mechanics tell me, because they don't make money when things break... oh wait
@@outcastsociety8513 And I'll bet that gets you a quick rise of the oil pressure gauge, (or the warning light turning off) with no abnormal noises. That's what I find with cars.
If it's making noises, wear is occurring.
I always pre-fill my filters no matter what, the only time you're going to get oil into the filters is when you crank the motor over and the oil pump pumps into the filters.
Even on car, those can style has to prefill, because you need oil pump is not circulating oil when the engine is off
It’s weird you’re bragging about how stupid you are…
The key to fame on RUclips is to do something people think is wrong so people argue in the comments section and share it with friends. You’re getting it good job 👏
Oh yeah, was thinking that watching it. I've even added my opinion so people can argue. The more comments the better so Rusty gets more views!
Rotella is the best running 15w40 in my pickup. Only had 20psi oil pressure at 40mph . After three months engine oil pressure up to 60psi.. engine has 330,000 miles.. good stuff
🧢
Rotella is the best oil hands down. a guy named farming somethjing posted a video as he tested the oils and rotella is up there as the best and its cheaper than some of the other shet companies be selling
@@outcastsociety8513 project farm
These filters hold like a whole gallon of oil not prefilling is crazy
yea on my volvo is 1.5 Gallons all 3.
You dont need to prefill filters. Within seconds since you turn on the engine the filters will fill up. Not gonna cause and engine damage or oil pump damage since they still have some remnants of the old oil left on/in them.
Is it really that hard for you to follow directions. 🤦♂️. It’s absolutely crazy people still think it’s ok to pre fill…. Only a jiffy lube dropout prefills.
@@sjfk1306jiffy lube girls don’t even badger put oil in my wife’s car good is a Toyota and I decided check same day how much oil they put it. So think before use services like this
Rusty,your seperater is stopping alge from trashing your fuel system. You need to add alge treatment to the tanks
you'd see green shet inside the filter. also i agree even if it isnt algea it wouldnt be a bad idea to do it every now and then
@@outcastsociety8513 not always green like in water, algee in diesel is usually black.
They’re just a keyboard mechanic. It is impossible for algae to be green when it’s in fuel.
@@Markw1063 true
@@markm0000 you beat me at it
Lol, check engine light, "engine is still there".
On your coolant filter, aren't their valves to shut that flow to the filter off. On my Freightliner there is valves to shut flow.
their is he just didnt know. Most trucks with coolent filters come with some kind of shut off valve. I think its to the left of the filter a little thing u turn
I actually wondered that, in spite of zero large truck experience.
Thank you for the video. My opinion as you said,don't listen all those who give you advice.Continue do what you are doing because you are doing a great job.And you know also what you are doing.
I'm always here for you Rusty, when I get a notification you uploaded, I straight watch it
Me too, love his videos!
Don’t you put a thin layer of oil on the gasket of the oil filter so that these is a good between the engine block and the oil filter!
Uhh Rusty, excelent videos congratulations GOD BLESS YOU from colombia
I wish my 4 wheelers had coolant filters as they do work great on removing the scale that forms in most coolant systems
Just put a cheap in-line fuel filter on a small coolant hose going to the reservoir. It will filter out junk slowly. Fuel and coolant run about the same pressures.
You can make your own, DIY. Don't use a fuel filter. Several P/U diesel sites have kits you can change to what you need. I bought a marine fuel water filter at walmart that has the same filter threads as a coolant filter. Sorry I can't give you any numbers or brands as I'm in Thailand and all my stuff is in Texas and I'm just to lazy to look it up. I got my filter heads from the Cummins dealer they have a single filter head as well as a double filter head. Donaldson also has a single filter head. Good luck.
There’s a valve right on top of the coolant filter, turn that and it’ll stop coolant from leaking out while you change the filter. Great video! 👊🏼💥
Thanks! Didn’t know that!
I’ve owned a trucking business for 20 years. My grandfather owned it for 30 years before me. We have 45 Tri axels dump trucks. We have Volvos Mack’s Western Stars internationals and freighliners.
I can tell you Rusty we have never once not ever filled up our oil filters with oil. That sounds crazy to me. Fuel filters however, yes, you fill those up so the truck will start. Otherwise you’ll be priming or ether.
We have a couple 2001 Freightliners still to this day that have had 2 motor rebuilds. Not a lick of trouble.
It is absolutely NOT a Myth. You do not fill the filters with oil. I didn’t even know that was thing.
To easily prove the point, put the filters on. Then fill the truck with recommendeded oil. Check the dipstick, pay attention where it’s at. It will be above full.
Then fire up the truck for like a minute. Shut it off. Check the dipstick again, it will be at the fuel line. Magically the filters filled up.
I pre-fill on my engines but if someone doesn't, I don't care. It's not my engine.
However, a free tip: always open the old (oil)filters an look out for chips. The drainplug is nice but I prefer the screw with a magnet on. Greets.
magnetic drain plugs are the best, but what isnt caught on the drain plug will be caught by the filters. unless its a cold day and the oil filters are bypassed via the pressure relief valve
I was told not to jump around from synthetic to conventional/ blend, chose one or find what the previous owner used. I love Rotella T5 blend
That is another myth.
I want to know why there are some people out there that want to tell you you're doing it wrong when they have no idea what they're doing themselves?!
Exactly, look at all the idiots telling everyone to pre fill an oil filter.
People that are just so full of themselves and think they are the smartest person on the planet. Nobody can tell them wrong or prove them right. Those people are usually poor because of said illness and spend a lot of their free time arguing with random people online. Every time you see someone like that completely ignore them. They are broken people.
I always enjoy watching your videos!!! God Bless you and your family
nice a new video, keep up the good work, god bless !.
The reason you're not supposed to pre-full filters is because you're introducing unfiltered oil into the system.
Also, there's a shutoff valve above the coolant filter so you don't have to make as much of a mess
Great video Rusty. You got one more good looking truck Bro. I just got me a Rusty Cracker Deleted Hoodie from Spring. Wear it proudly.
Thank you brother
Is normal for the weter separator going dirty so quickly is because your truck was sitting for a long time and the tanks get a lot of allergy built up, another thing is we are in winter time and the additive packages make the filters to go dark faster
bad fuel. if it was algea he would be changing them much much much ffaster, its a fuel water seperator so it getting full because theirs water in the tank and it gets their from bad fuel islands not changing their filters
Of course those oil filters don't fill themselves. How could they when they're above the level of oil in the pan.
Mike Brown - So true.
It's magic.
I all ways prefilled my filters fuel especially but that valve is great
Do you have an algae problem with your fuel. Always use top quality filters.
NEVER put soil where engine OIL goes !! Rusty kept telling us to
Check your fuel tanks if that water separator keepsdoing that
Greetings from Portugal Rusty
🇵🇹 welcome
@@TheRustyCracker thanks. SLAVA UKRAINI 🇺🇦
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Volvo recommend to use 10W30 oil
No they don’t. I’m located in the south east, needs 15w 40
Your engine can run for quite a while with zero oil pressure with no damage. Residual oil will protect those moving parts for quite a while.
I only fill a filter if the manufacturer says to. Otherwise. I follow the manual & put them in dry.
nice job rusty...
Wow Sashka; now you're professional as me .. I been using synthetic in all trucks, on D13 you can go 60,000km easy.. don't forget additives
For your info the oil will be in the sump, when you start the engin the pump will fill the oilfilters
You will find out after the Engin run that the oillevel in the sump is down, so you need to fill the amount of the filters up again.
Yes always pre fill and 1/4 turn with the tool..your fuel tanks have residue from sitting
NEVER pre fill. You spelled it wrong..
It's your engine do it your way. It's been said you may end up putting dirt into the clean side of the oil filters when you pre fill them. I wonder. If you drain your oil and replace your filters right then and then start you engine there is enough oil left on the bearing and head to lube the engine until oil PSI starts. Pull the oil pan and see how long oil drips out of the engine. Nothing wrong with doing it as you have. I have done it both ways, no harm.
agreed and i heard the myths myself. How can a sealed bottle of oil have dirt in it is beyond me. its here nor there. i prefill a little out of my own habit
@@outcastsociety8513 They are open while in storage before filling, Also the oil process brings in some dirt. The base oil is normally comes by rail cars, do you think they are clean. That would be a NO. I have seen some nasty stuff in the bottom of brand new oil bottles.
it was funny old lady complained about the rumbling of a huge truck at midnight.them walmart trucks are super silent and he idled it so funny but she won no more big trucks in town in middle of nowhere she dyed 3 years ago but law in effect to this day
Dam u be come venom from spiderman 7:07 🤯🤣
crack the filters loose and then poke holes in them, fuel water seperator is filling up because bad fuel quality, if its black the injector cups are bad (most likely), amd volvo takes about 8 to 8.5 gallons of oil. and yes hand tightening is fine but peace of mind i go half turn with wrench. Make sure to lube the o rings on all the filters. and also fulls synthetic you should go about 30k miles and regular oil is 15k miles. you can definitely go over that but i dont recommand it as the oil breaks apart to much
Pre-filing the filters just adds extra oil to the engine. Simply not required. Also Volvo Mechanic in the comments says no need to pre-fill filters. The title for this video is bang on. You should stick to driving; leave the mechanical advice to mechanics.
You should add some fuel system cleaner
Good job
Volvo has a shutoff valve when changing coolant filter...duh
I always pre fill my oil filters
And everyone always knows you’re an idiot..
ohh i forgot to mention my neibor was always considerate when he drove he dropped trailer outside of town.some old lady complained cause he drove his walmart semi up a town street which was ridicoulis his semi running was 200 feet from my bedroom window and i loved the sound people are weird
Buy yourself a 2 micron fuel filter and bypass kit. This will eliminate most of your fuel filter problems with these Raycor systems.
Downloaded the app 👍🏽
The filters should fill once the ignition is turned to the "On" position, & the engine fully engages. It's brand new oil, there shouldn't be any danger running it through the engines like that for a second or however many milliseconds it takes. I guess on heavy duty engines it could take longer.
Great education ,rusty
I learn one brother today is good to get another opinion stay safe
I have some advise about filter. But not oil filter. Please don't make this dark-yellow image filter. Every time on your video I have to turn up the brightness to max. However thank you for your content.
volvo says "you dont't need to fill filter unless you have redone the engine" becouse there is enough oil still in the engine to not do any damage that comes from guy who has fixed these things over 50 years
As far as that dirty filter, maybe you just getting into some bad fuel or they could be algae in your tank.
Invest in some latex gloves dude. Come on.😂
You need to order Magic Filters... They are the only ones that fill themselves 😭 Keep it Safe out there Driver .. Enjoy your content 🤗
Always prefill oil and fuel filters. I know people do it but a $40,000.00 engine and starting it dry. No way for me. Also Volvo wants 10W30 weight oil.
10w30? Really odd spec for a modern semi.
10w is bad for cold starts and id much rather have a 40 weight in a hard working truck engine than a 30 weight.
These days they make 0w40 even and that or a 5w40 would be my oil of choice.
10w30 is something Japanese cars of the 90s had as a popular viscosity I think.
@@alouisschafer7212 Volvo wants people to mess up their engines with bad maintenance so they can sell more trucks. Regular oil changes with 5w40 synthetic is the best protection.
Yes, you pre fill fuel filters but not engine oil filters. It’s scary how much stupid there is.
im 61 now and have a bodyshop.i think your pretty cool i used to drive truck in late 70s to mid 80s.glad im away from it but i was your age then i got lonely on the road.stupid if i woulda kept driving like my neigbor he drove for walmart for 35 years otr he would leave sunday night and back home friday night late he did that for 35 years.hes retired now with a big rv and classic cars home paid for kinda jeloius.he always smirks at me he says see when your working for the right company it pays off.he married out of high school she never had a job so walmart took care of himand his wife and kids my neighbor
The reason you don’t have to tighten filters more than hand tight is because there’s no force to overcome the friction of the rubber seal and spin loose. I’ve seen really old rusted filters almost finger tight that have been on small engines bouncing down the road with no leaks. Don’t use a tool it will just make it really hard to take off.
yea, its not like there is oil pressure or anything like that
@@gavnonadoroge3092 The oil pressure is not strong enough to unscrew the filter. Every vehicle and equipment maintenance manual says to hand tighten filters.
@@markm0000 well, besides oil pressure there are also vibrations, and the fact that everyone has different hand tightening grip. maybe thats why torque wrench was invented. and of course manuals could never be wrong, especially when manufacturers have a money interest in selling you more parts when things break.
@@gavnonadoroge3092 ok bro get your torque wrench out to spin on a oil filter.
@@markm0000 don't tell me what to do, and i won't tell you were to go

ALWAYS PRE FILL YOUR FILTERS
Anyone who says that you shouldn't hasnt got a clue about the workings of an engine and the way the oil pump works
Ya Volvo and Cat should hire you. As both of them say not to pre fill the oil and fuel filter.
I’m not hating here I’m a heavy mechanic my self but rusty as you stated in the start of the video saying you don’t know how your doing wrong cause you have been doing it for a long time I’m gonna say this that just cause you been doing a jobs long time doesn’t mean your doing it right your just doing it a way that works there is no right or wrong way of doing it it’s all preference but agree about the filters should only be done hand night cause they’re I’ll tighten them selfs
Another thing is yes like holes into the filters but not until you have loosened the filters first cause if you drain those filters and all of a sudden you find that the filters have seized on
If that is a fuel filter, the black will be the asphaltains of the diesel. No problem with that at all.
My favorite truck ever.
Same 👍
Totally necessary to pre fill oil in oil filters, oil pump will fill up in less than 5 seconds, i have 1.6 million miles on my KW t800 with cummins isx 550 , never been pre fill filters
1st comment.. I luv your Volvo will u tour your cabin
He already did like 5 videos ago..

This is the one of the most comfortable truck in the market follow by T680.
Awsome job on the rebuild lovely truck..
People rattling off on oil specs: Its a big diesel in a semi truck it doesn't care if you put 15w40 in it even if Volvo wants you to run something thinner.
Id rather have a 15w40 in there to protect this hard working semi truck engine in the southeast climate than 10w30? somebody said you should use.
These days they even make 0w40 oil so that would be ideal if the truck was up north and had to do lots of cold starts.
1st digit species cold flow ability 2nd set of digits defines the viscosity at 100c celsius. A 30 weight is pretty thin at 100c, a 0w20 is as thin as water and a 40 weight will be pretty much optimal for most engines and a 50 or 60 weight will be too thick for most standard applications.
Yes there are engines that will do just fine with 0w20 like the new gen of Mazda engines for example those are tight and were designed for 0w20.
But a big diesel in a semi yeah I would say a 40 weight is the way to go, use a 5w40 or 0w40 when its very cold out and 10w40 or 15w40 as a summer oil.
Ask a Volvo mechanic that's the only real answer
DEEEEEEEEENCH -Volvo Mechanic in comments says no need to pre-fill filters. If anyone would know, he would.
@@gord2358 But a Volvo mechanic is surely under a good bit of pressure pressure to get the job done in as little time as possible, so that might be influencing his opinion there.
The $300 question is: Which way does he do his own vehicles???
@@DanEBoyd
No. Anyone who knows how an engine works knows that oil is pumped from the sump into the filters.
He does his own work to save money. This is a business. Less money spent is more money earned.
@@dillonh321 Anyone who has changed oil filters and not put any oil in them, knows that an engine will make a bunch of tapping noises and worse, until the filter is full and supplying pressure.
Where there are tapping noises, there is undue wear.
And you only need to fill the filter maybe halfway, to have the engine start with no noises, and have the oil pressure gauge come up normally or extinguish the warning light.
The reason you don’t use tools to tighten volvo filters is because you can crack the filter housing . Ask me how I know😂 I didn’t fallow the instructions and cracked mine. Almost $1200 to get it replaced.
What you get from your oil filter is soot . DEF emissions engines are dirty engines
Rusty you did good I used to have dual monitor the f50
fuel separator mounted upsidedown
Guys, if you don't fill the oil filter and add it to the engine, it will start dry and causes problems
nice video
Wow he is doing a oil change and has a check engine light on. I guess a oil change is more important than a check engine light
You did well rusty but you forgot to change air cleaner element
Hi rusty I have always pre filled the filters and I’ve was a mechanic for many years before I was a coach driver and even then I insisted the filters were pre filled on my coach
No oil in the filters ≈ No oil on your bearings until the filters are full. Dude has a Slime problem, you need biokleen to kill it.
Nice work man 👍
Fill that oil to full mark on dipstick and change that fuel water separator filter and wash that truck and polish rims please Rusty ☝️💪👊😝
Those are circulating filters so no need to prefill them.
A good way to know how much oil to put in the engine is to measure the oil that came out.
I love your videos
False . You don’t know if it was filled correctly to begin with .
@peterseinfeld Bro do you know what a dip stick is.
@@markm0000 Is that some kind of sexual reference? Kinda sounds like a good time to me .
The first tip is to quit buying those filters and oil with the name brand Volvo on their you're paying for the name 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂"WIX"
Don’t prefill the oil filter. Follow the directions right on the filter…
Maybe dirty fuel tanks
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
About your water separator filter getting dirty very often its maybe because the fuel tanks are dirty happen to my once tanks where filthy
The oil pump fills up the filter’s
yea, after the engine is on, and it take times to soak through, that means there are mins that your filter is not working.
@@thevinceberry there’s a video of a transparent oil filter. It’s pretty much instant. At idle there’s no pressure on the bearings it will not damage the engine.
I don’t pre fill oil filters never had a problem, just pre fill the fuel filters for sure
You should do a coolant flush just to be in a safe side.
Why?
Just use a power drill to punch hole..lol. Why, make things harder than necessary
You’ll get oil inside the drill.
Why the hell does it matter if there's oil in the freaking filters?! What damage will that do to the engine? The oil is for the engine being circulated by the pump from the pan.
Who cares about the filters & what damage will a dry filter for a bit of time before the pump cycles it through there do?!
Perfect reason I would never have a youtube channel
Damn if you do, damn if you don't

Good job Rusty and I have no opinion on what you do. I just watch as I drink my morning coffee for entertainment.
Get some of that kill em stuff for the fuel tanks. You do live in warm climate so algae grows in fuel tanks.
