Take a look at

I think, as long as one does not do stupid things like red-line an engine immediately upon startup, it is an overkill...
While I understand that engines last very long even without some-sort of pre-lubing system (before you crank the engine), I am surprised that none of the car makers were ready/willing/able to integrate some sort of pre-lube desing into their engineering.
