Just turn the ignition on for a few seconds to energized the pump until it shuts off again. Do it 3 or 4 times and you won't have to crank it much.

I got a Mann filter for $17. Sanded the faces of the old washers until they were flat and reused them. Kinda cheap for the filter manufacturers not to include the washers. I mean, they put the plastic caps on the filters which probably cost just as much.
