I have had a pretty lazy winter. I haven't started my car since early December. I was thinking it might be wise to pull the coil wire and turn it over a bit to get some oil moving before I actually start it. Worth the trouble?? Bad idea??? Any thoughts???

I'd suggest removing the fuel pump fuse as well, and if you don't want to work your battery too hard, take the plugs out. Mine took a lot of cranking recently, but mine was apart and the oil cooler, lines, etc. all needed to be filled.
