Yeah. Refill the oil before you start the engine ;)

I have a 64 BJ8 that hasn't been started for 6-7 years since the engine 
rebuild and I seek your collective wisdom. My favorite auto parts store manager 
suggests spraying penetrating oil into the cylinders, let it work for 48 
hours, drain the oil, pull the plug wires, etc. and try to turn the engine by 
hand first. 

Any further advice?
