There may have been a tad of misunderstanding all along in this thread. I'm not refilling the trans. That's already full ever since I did some work on it a few years ago to replace the cork gasket. So now I'm merely changing the filter as part of normal yearly lubrication, etc.
So I was basically asking: 1) should the filter have some fluid in it before installing (answer indicates apparently not despite what the local parts supplier/technician told me) and, 2) should the filter be changed more often than the suggested 100 hour interval. That's it.
Sorry for any confusion!
