You don't really need to prime the pump unless it's a fresh built motor and then spinning the motor on the starter for a few seconds with the plugs out or the kill switch off to circulate the oil is all you need to do.
Just replacing the pan and filling with fresh oil on a relatively recently run engine won't need that.
