That bastard moves pretty damned fast too. Repeated tries will cause the radio to turn on and play you a message which tells you the oil filter is empty. If you try to start with a remote starter or similar device the truck will undoubtedly detect whats happening and disconnect the positive battery cable from the battery automatically. It will not allow the cable to be reconnected until the oil filter is filled.

i too fill my filter about half way but thankfull its right next to the oil pan and it point down so its a simple thing to do. I dont think its a big deal anymore with newer cars but i think back in the day it was the proper procedure. Things like that get passed down, just like the idea to change you oil every 3000 miles. That just doenst apply anymore even though i still do it. odd.
