call your local dealer and talk to a service tech or parts guy.

check the way that the filter is mounted it may not hold oil when the engine is off.

oil passage going to filter is clogged or the oil pump is not working. I have a 22re and it always has oil in it. If you have the relocation kit that might have something to do with it if the oil filter is facing down.

If its a CHEEP filter , with NO anti drain back valve ... it will drain out and be empty ...

spend the money on the toy filter , your truck will last longer .
