How to Crank Without Start?

[Javelina]

My 2025 3.0l Yukon often sits unused 1 to 3 weeks while out of town. Is there a way to crank the engine with no start to get the oil circulated a bit after sitting? Would there be any benefit in doing this under these circumstances?

I have a seasonal vehicle that sits sometimes four to six months at a time. I keep it on a CTEK tender at all times. When I get to my destination, I just crank it start it and drive it. No Ill effects after 9 years. I think you're overthinking it.....

Just keep a battery tender on it, and when you do fire it up, let it sit and idle for at least a few minutes to get fluid flowing and coming up to temperature, before you drive it down the road.

I would unplug the spark plug harness....

Or you can unplug the fuel injectors.

probably 10 different fuse that could be pulled in the fuse box that would cause it to turn over and not start, no need to make it harder than it needs to be.

There's a thought. Maybe # 87 & 90 feeding the Injector ECMs.
