Hello, I'm Danny.
Yes, definitely pre-oil before install. If you are in a hurry to install submerge them in a container full of oil and using a push rod manually depress the cup up and down to prime the lifter. If not in a hurry you can just leave them submerged in the canister full of oil for a few days and the air will escape and the lifter will fill with oil. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
