Is this really needed? Its not like your gonna drag ur car immediatly after startup. I usually let it idle up to normal operating temp and watch for leaks anyway. I'm sure it doesnt take that long for the oil pump to soak the filter and have fresh oil lubricating the engine. IMO this extra step is not needed and is a wast of time..ur engine does this for you when u start it up.
But i do recommend rubbing some oil on the rubber seal on the filter before install.
