I have never prefilled, isn't nec. and wasn't/isn't possible on many engines due to the filter being sideways or upside down. However, it can't hurt anything.

Not an option on the hemi now with the adapter installed.

If it's easy to do, as in I'm not going to spill it all over when I install it, I'll prefill. Can't say I've noticed a difference either way on any oil changes I've done.
