Default engine prestart

Does anyone think the 2.5L will benefit from being spun before started?
Some years ago there used to be products that would lubricate the engine before it started. Only way I can see to replicate this is to spin the whole engine, which likely has a mechanical oil pump that isn't efficient at low speeds.

The only reason I'm wondering about all this is cuz I'm setting up remote start and have a chance to work this into it. Any ideas? thanks

You may want to post this in a more general 2.5l section

That's the general opinion I've heard.
when I was just a wee puff my dad showed me how to unplug the distributor and turn the engine over for a bit after changing the oil, before "really" starting it.
I guess that lesson still follows me around :}
