Have had the MCFH oil system for several years. I did have a problem with it the first time I changed the oil. I thought it would be a good idea to fill the spin on filter with oil when I changed it. Not a good idea! Couldn't get any oil pressure. Called Mark Kirby (this was several years ago) and he told me to always install the filter empty. Put a new filter on and bingo, oil pressure.
