Attached. Spin it by hand, about 1 to 1 1/2 revolutions per second (60--90 RPM)

If you spend more than a minute at this, you're doing it wrong. Often about 30 seconds is plenty. When you see oil pressure on the gauge...you're done.

There is NO need to squirt oil over the fenders from the pushrods; and NO need to turn the crankshaft.
