Some engine manufacturers recommend adding oil to first tank of gas at initial fire-up after laying-up all winter, even though the engine is oil injected.<br />Anyone know why this is recommended?

Same reason they recommend using premix on break-in. Extra lubrication for "dry" internals and cylinder walls.
