Mopars aren't finicky like GM's. I usually fire it and let oil pressure build while I set timing (30-60 sec.), then hold at ~2,500 for 3-5 minutes, then let it idle until it gets to OT. I use blue bottle STP or Lucas for assembly lube.

Since you're dealing with a FI motor, you don't have to screw with timing, so just let pressure come up.
