Yeah i kinda figured thats what most were doing, but I also saw some companies make a tank to pressurize and connects where the oil pressure sensor goes to circulate 3-4qt first. Just didnt know if it was really needed.

disconnect the fuel line going to the engine, and crank it for 15-20 sec, it will build enough oil psi,
GM sell oil priming thingey which is a tank attach to the port near the cam sensor and you pump oil inside the engine.
mostly used on new engine tho

Priming oil systems is for new/replaced rotating assy situations! If you start a new engine without pressuring oil in the motor or at least unplugging coil packs and turning over with no load for a while it will loose 80% of its bearing life!
But in your situation your good!
