Before I start my car (once I get the return fuel line taken care of) I'm gonna change out the old oil with fresh oil and filter. the car has been sitting for 2 1/2 years without gas and no turn over. I want to make sure oil will be everywhere it should be before I crank it. So is there a way to prime the engine with oil manually? Maybe crank it before I put gas in it?

Thanks

If the engine has been ran, oil is still in the critical areas, so youll be fine just to start it up.

If you do want to shove oil into it, get an oil transfer pump from the freight tool store, like $15, and matching thread nipple for the oil pressure sensor location. Remove the sensor and start pumping oil in.
