If you change the filter and drain the crankcase too, you'll end up using a little oil from the 3rd bottle.

Normally, priming the oil pump during a simple oil change isn't necessary. But if you diconnected the oil line from the tank to the pump, or you let the vehicle sit for a long time without oil in the tank, then priming becomes necessary. I normally do the prime procedure anyway, just in case.
