So you can do what you want but the many years (probably when you were not even born) says otherwise. And these are on top of the line GM vehicles.
You have your opinion and experience. I have my experience as do others that says differently. NBD in my mind.

Well Tom, when you're working on a million dollar dozer and you screw up a pump or an engine during a PM service, it's probably not going to be taken lightly by the owner. By the same token I've never filled a filter, no problems either, and no liability because I could have contaminated a filter with anything that sticks to oily nozzles, bulk containers etc. If you ever looked in the bottom of an empty oil container, you'd be surprised how much sediment there sometimes is.
