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.
