Aha! Another opportunity for an extensive answer without extensive typing,
as I have saved some of the previous answers on-line. Start here:

Scroll down below the picture and click on DE-101, starting a dormant
engine. Much of this also applies to starting a new engine for the first
time. You can also check OF-101 and OF-102 for detailed information on the
internal oiling system of your engine, and in particular OF-103 for priming
the oil system before the first starting. While you're there, feel free to
graze on whatever other tidbits of engine tech catch your fancy.
