Well, if you drain out the oil and pour new oil from the top, its going to coat the internals to a certain extent just from that. Another thing; doesnt the M5 use a dry sump system? I thought those start oil circulation before engine start-up. Im not suggesting that he should rely on just that.
When I go to college my prelude sits. After a couple months when I come back, before I start the car I pull the ECU fuse. This way, it wont dump fuel and/or start. With the ECU fuse out, the oil pump still operates when the engine turns over, so it gets the oil going. Then i put the fuse back in, and I'm good to go.
