The engine (certainly on the turbos) should be full of oil anyway, because of 
the non-drainback valve in the oil filter.  It's probably all over every 
journal within a revolution or two.  My oil pressure light goes out 
simultaneously with the starter starting to turn the engine.

Enough to take a finger or two off against the underside of the hood if you 
unscrew it when pressurised.
