REFLECTOR: pre-oiling the engine

[Terry Miles]

If you were concerned, you could pull the bottom plugs, leave the mags off
and run the starter until you saw 30 psi or so of oil pressure.  It  won't
take more than a few seconds to see an indication.  Then put it all back
together and fire it  up.

If my Lycoming IO-360 engine has been sitting for a couple of weeks, does
anything useful get lubricated if I were to turn the prop a couple of times
by hand before starting the engine?
