Oil pump priming. Vaseline needed?

I am not relying on YouTube. I have service manuals plus Andy’s book and years of experience. I had never seen the Vaseline idea before. We can always learn from the wisdom of others. YouTube is just another medium for disseminating information but not the answer for everything. Check and more importantly double check the source before believing anything or anyone.

Using something other than what the factory service manual or other well known published manuals isn't wisdom. It's going "the other way". Youtube can be a decent resource, but it's also SLAM full of misinformation.
