I fill the filter and also soak the gasket in oil before installing filter. Shops dont cause it takes too much time. I use a funnel and no mess.

By 'soak the gasket' do you mean rubbing a little oil on it or do you take it off and literally soak it?

the rubber seal of the TOYO oil filter is coated with what looks like vaseline

. So I don't put oil on the seal .
