Good idea to add oil to cyclinders but not to idle...

Great idea adding oil to the cylinders before starting, you should actually also do this when parking for storage. Then with the plugs out, crank the engine over a couple of times to distribute the oil (good to pull the fuel pump fuse too). Then install the plugs, put back the fuse and start it up.
As for idling the car before driving, that's a bad idea. Just idle long enough to check under the hood for any strange noises and then drive. A cold engine at idle runs rich which results in soot build up and some gas getting into the oil.
I would not be too concerned about changing the oil quickly if you stored it with fresh synthetic......which you should do.
