Well, the engine is without oil pressure until the filter fills each
time you start--everything drains out when you stop. (!) There are
filter cartridges which are made to operate in that orientation--look to
see if you can find one which matches the pipe adapter and land of the
filter adapter. Usually, you can see a rubber check valve inside the
filter.
