I'm with that opinion - and also, how important it is to fill the oil filter before reinstalling. It's pretty disturbing that the canister was empty when removed. That just isn't normal. Is it possible that it wasn't installed properly? There are some parts (spring, a washer, for the bypass) that come off, and the order is important. You mentioned that the filter had a hold in the side of it. Do you think that someone might have done this deliberately because the bypass wasn't working?
