The instructions don't talk about priming and neither does the service manual so who knows. It's not uncommon for techs to just do that one their own though. It's fairly easy to prime this car. You can pour oil through the hole where the filter goes and then fill the filter while upside down, install the filter, crank for 10 secs or so with the throttle to the floor (the ECU puts it in flood mode when the pedal is pressed past 80%) then release the throttle and do a normal crank and it fires right up and will be super smooth. If you start a car dry without any sort of priming it will sound awful for the first few seconds. Even with the use of bearing lube.
