I never fill the filter, but I do pour a big glug of fresh into the top, mostly to lube up the threads; then I take my finger and wet the gasket with fresh oil.

I also date the filter with a sharpie, and I'll put a tic mark on it at the same time so I can make sure I tighten it between 1/2 and 3/4 turn, by hand.
