Cranking the motor does not spin the oil pump fast enough to build pressure. It’s not a good practice on a stock motor. If it was dry sump and had an external oil pump that’s one thing…..
That's not true unless the oil pump has no prime in which case you should be priming with the drill method anyway. When I do an oil change on any of my vehicles I disconnect the ignition (or remove the fuel injector fuse) and crank it with the starter to finish filling the oil filter. Within about 30 seconds of cranking (not all in one go of course) I can see the oil pressure gauge come up. Heck I've had no-start issues on my Duster or D200 where I had to crank it a few times, just with the starter turning it a few hundred RPM the oil pressure came up to about 20 psi until I let off.
I figure it's better on the main and rod bearings to have it turning at lower speeds without the force of combustion pushing down on the rods until it gets oil pressure.
