I don't think it's actually that critical - I didn't do it last time I did a change, and there were no problems. Theres enough oil in various catch pockets that everyhthings OK. Just give it some time at low revs to circulate and prime before going for a ride. I like the idea of priming the filter so that you're getting oil everywhere as soon as possible, so I do it that way now.
