Not sure that would be as effective although it's what I did before I fired up my bike for the first time after 12 yrs.

Take the plugs out and spin it on starter until the oil pressure light goes out.

Great idea but as the engine is out it would mean rigging up an oil light - not that it's that much work to wire one up temporarily!
