Brian, It would seem to me that this is similar to prelubing a new engine. I would find a way to pump up the oil pressure without spinning the engine, to prelube all that the oil can reach, and then squirt some 5w30 or 10w30 oil down the spark plug holes, say 1/2 and ounce, and then rotate the engine by hand. I would use this opportunity to see if it is frozen, how the resistance feels, is it uniform, or does the engine "catch" at any point, and to circulate some of the oil. Then fire it up.
