It depends.  If my car had set for 20 years, and needed an initial prime to 
get
the engine running, but then held prime after that.. I wouldn't think twice.
I've seen that situation many times.  Now.. if it looses prime just setting 
there
day to day.. then yes, it needs to be addressed.  I vew priming the oil pump
as a helpfull way to get an old engine running that has set for a long 
period of
time.. not a day to day fix.
