  1. I work with industrial emergancy Generators, those get a cold start every month, run 1 hour than stay until next month. The Oil and Filters get changed every year after just 12 hours. The Main stream Oil Filters on this particular engine are mounted upside down, so no chance of prefilling, and they empty on the primary after every month. We head to rebuild this 30 year old Iveco/Fiat straigt 6 (12Liter displacement) because the O rings in the sleeves where leeking coolent into the crank case. We did change the bearings for good messure, but that wouldn't have been necessary. They looked like from a car engine that drove 100k, slight wear marks, but far from worn. I guess it depends on the engine construcktion, but generaly speaking in normal service routines preefilling filters is not necessary, i think you can do more wrong than good with this practice. A college of mine hase that bad behavior of prefilling the fuel filter with the old filter because of laziness. A customer head a stuck Injector after this college did a service. I changed that bad Injector and out of curiosity dismantled it, and what you know, there was a paint flake stuck in the pilot valve, same (Baldwin) red color as the fuel filters.... 🤔

  2. Jes!!! The other side of that caliper must be stuck for a looong time! 😬

  3. How should overfilling cause a leak??? That is logic from a person that understands nothing about engines! To cause any problem by overfilling, especially like on such a truck, you need to fill that sucker right up to the crank to cause excessive foaming and overwhelming of the oil control rings. And that would lead to bad lubrication on the bearings, and excessive oil consumption through the piston rings. But not leaking!!!
