Replacing the air filter is simply a mechanical process and as long as you get into place so that no air can sneak by you have done it right. Oil and fuel filters are a different story since they both need to be refilled prior to installing them.

I refill them by very patiently pouring the new fluid into the recess with lots of small holes on the top of the filter. Resist the temptation to pour down through the center hole as that is the one that flows directly into the engine and if you do that you will be putting unfiltered fluids through the engine. If you don't prefill the fuel filters the engine will not run, if you don't prefill the oil filter the engine will take longer to build up oil pressure as it fills the filter. I know some people don't fill the oil filter because they get heavy when filled - but only as heavy as the one you just removed.

If you have further questions please ask, there are several of us here that service our V92 engines ourselves.
