And if the oil reservoir is well below the engine, as it is on my Apollo Fox, you will not get it to burp no matter how much you turn the prop - the oil will already have trickled down by the extremely reliable force of gravity.

Still I do hand turn the prop before starting, two or three revolutions, to activate ("wake up") both the oil circuit and the fuel circuit.
