Priming the filter has no effect on the level checked after the engine is run. Perhaps, if you put the filter on dry then put oil into the motor to get a top hash mark reading it would have an effect but that's not how you change the oil. Once you've run the car for a few minutes then let it sit for a few minutes everything is stabilized which is when you get the proper reading, primed filter or not.
