Yea

Not a bad idea, never thought about it to be honest.

Always do this on all vertical mounted filters.

Ditto, will have to consider this especially on vertically mounted filters as recommended.

That will be hard to do on the Hemi though.

Why? I have done it 8 times already on my 2014 with no problem.

Always for almost every vehicle I have ever owned. You can even get some oil in horizontally mounted filters without spilling it during installation. Some oil is better than none at all.

lol, never mind I was thinking of a different filter/truck for some reason I was thinkimg the filter was on its side.

ALWAYS. even the horizontal ones ill partially fill and let the filter media soak it in and Ill keep it horizontal and spin the filter to soak all the media all the way around. Ill keep doing that little by little until the oil sits near the opening when held horizontal. Verticals get filled to the top

Standard procedure. I can remember helping my dad change oil as a youngster and asking why he did this. It's amazing how much you can put in a horizontal filter without spilling because the media soaks it up.
