    Oil filter empty?

    Hey.. I got a 1989 mazda familia GTX 4 doors.. 1.8 dohc turbo awd
    I always did my oil changes myself and always had filled up oil filter while doing the oil change.. them someday I blew up the engine and had it rebuilt.. Since then, everytime i do an oil change, the oil filter is empty/no oil leak while removing it.
    Any ideas what is the problem?
    thanks

        means nothing unless ur knocking. try this run the car for 20 seconds then turn her off and unscrew the filter see if any comes out. if it sits for a while then it will drain back down into the engine.

        The only bummer about the world ending is that you can't turn to the person next to you and say "WOW! Did you see THAT?!!"

          yea it might just be the design, ive gotten into arguments at work over the shop owner saying theres no oil pressure and this and that, but if you check the gauge its always right...lol... just cause a filter didnt have oil in it when he pulled it off....lol.....
