Pontiac 3.8 liter engine the oil pump is crank driveni packed it with vasoline and still cannot get the pump to prime Is there another way to prime it?

Remove the oil filter and fill it with new oil. If problem still persist, then remove oil filter and use a oil squirter to squirt oil into the oil filter mounting base hold adjacent to the thread. Other ways to prime the engine is to rotate the engine with the starter with the fuel shutoff and no spark.
