I watched it and found it very interesting, but a bit long. The 2nd and 3rd links have the results of his experiment if you don't want to watch the complete vid.

I've always been a pre-filler.
Just not as much when the filter is slanted.

His conclusion based on several SAE papers is it really doesn't matter. In a properly maintained engine ring and cylinder wear are the limiting factors. Cold starts and high load (lugging) causes most of the ring and cylinder wear. This is pretty much what I have always thought, if I need to move a car a bit I push it if I can to avoid starting the engine.
What does this say about start stop engine longevity in many newer vehicles????
