Engine oil and filter should be changed every year irrespective of mileage and with a hot engine. Oil circulating pumps don't need priming but it's a good idea with spin on oil filters to pre-fill them with as much fresh oil as possible commensurate with the angle they sit at. In the case of one that sits horizontally for example I fill to half. This to minimise time it takes the pump to fill it completely before oil pressure builds up.
