[QUOTE="BurnOut, post: 1190166, member: 21501"] Turning the motor over without it firing is much gentler on parts than having a cylinder (or 6) fire off a few dozen times on dry bearings (well, bearings with only oil film on them, anyhow). Additionally, there really isn't enough air moving through the hot side of the turbos while you're cranking to get 'em spinning at significant RPM... so cranking without firing to get the filter/galleries filled and up to pressure is your best bet for minimizing wear. During normal cold starts, it's the anti-drain back valve in the filter that keeps the oil in the galleries, ready to lubricate everything as soon as the motor spins over more than a few times.
