This I've seen other have issues with. A dry pump trying to push (purge) air through thick assembly lube does not always work well :/

Adding some assembly lube to the pump should always be done. I wish they shipped them this way. Of course, I wish they shipped them with bypass pistons that never stick and backplate bolts that don't come out too
I did the IAG recommended process twice and got no oil at all. Called them up and the front desk lady told me just start up the engine. Took it to a IAG gold certified shop and they said the oil pump was defective
