Got to fill new filter up with oil before fitting it.
Think you have to turn engine over with crank sensor disconnected afterwards as well,something to do with oil pressure or getting oil round engine,something like that.
If im wrong im sure someone will correct me before long!

Just Pre-fill the oil filter and put in 4.5 litres in total. Easier than some cars cos the filter is vertical. 30mins tops.
