NO, its to supply oil to the whole engine so when you turn the key you already have oil where its needed.

Please take your car to a shop and have someone do it for you.

I remove the plugs, disconnect the distributor plug and crank the car over until the oil light goes off.

+1 to that. I'm going to do it until I read oil pressure on my gauge I installed. It's a great thing to have to make sure you're in spec with pressure too.
