Spring Start Up

My car has been sitting all winter in peices, so I have not had the opportunity to start it every so often.
I plan to do an oil change and start her up tonight. What other precautions do you suggest.
I thought about putting some oil in the rotor housings through the plug holes, but I am not sure if this is necessary.
Would it be easier to turn the fuel pump off and crank the engine to let the oil injectors squirt oil into the housings instead?
What do you guys suggest?

I searched the site, but couldn't get an answer.

I don't start my car up during the winter at all.
Your best bet is to spray fogging oil in the each plug hole.

Dry crank it a few times. Maybe add a bit more FO.

Then start her up.
