How much oil does an OEM filter hold?
#2
I tend to fill my filter prior to installation but you can't really fill it 100% as it will leak when you go to install it. I would estimate that it holds approx. 1/2 quart, maybe a tad bit more once it is in operation on the vehicle. The filter sits horizontally and anti-drain back valves are rarely 100% sealed, so my best guess is that it doesn't stay completely filled when the engine is off, but probably a good portion of the oil remains.
