I don't know if it has been covered but I know there are a lot of fellow members who store their car(s) for the winter. So if your car has been sitting and hasn't started for months, you may want to prime that oil system before firing it up. It's not required but it certainly helps more than hurts.
Before you start it, hold the clutch in like normal but at the same time hold the gas pedal to the floor. Holding the gas pedal wide open (to the floor) while the car is off shuts off the injectors. So with the clutch in and gas pedal to the floor, hit the start button (just one push), it will roll over for about 8 seconds but it won't start and the oil system with be primed then. Once it's done rolling over, simply let go of the gas pedal and start it up normally.
Now you can rest easy since you know that oil that got stretched thin over the months has been re-applied again before firing it up.
Enjoy the driving season fellow hibernators
