Um YEAH! Before you put the filter on during the oil change.

you dont have to do that to any other filter so why do you have to do it for the 22r

I've always done it to anything I've done an oil change on. Makes sense to me, I'unno.

you can't really do that on an R-Series, because the filter sits vertical/slightly down hill towards the open end. I have never primed an oil filter on an R-Series. You could have had a plugged filter, and it was constantly bypassing, or a filter with no valve in it, or yada yada yada. new oil new filter (not a Fram) and check it after a few miles. If you didn't have any oil flow, your engine would be toast by now, methinks.

how many miles have you put on it?

how about disconnecting the coil and crank it over till oil comes out?
no oil after 10-20 seconds = big problems or just a new oil pump

what dose the oil gauge read you know the one that screws in2 the moron light hole.
