Is this doable? forcing the engine to start for a short time by flooring the acelerator and depressing the start button?

If it works on the HYBRID it’ll help fill the oil filter after an oil change????

Just turn on the AC or the heat full blast. Highest or lowest temp with max fan speed.

Also......fill the new oil filter with oil before you put it on.

I dunno, my old explorer has "clear flood" mode but it didn't seem to circulate the oil enough, maybe 30 sec isn't enough but when I started it, the valves clattered like crazy for about 10 seconds until oil pressure came up.

I'll just fill the filter from now on.

I'm confused.

Does the OP want to "crank" the engine without starting it to "pump" oil into the oil filter?

No, you can not do that in a hybrid.

Just power brake it for a full on takeoff, that should kick the motor on right? Take it for a once around the gas pumps.

Flooring any hybrid will start the ICE. Standard for Toyota and Fords. Also sports mode if you want to just drive it away on ICE.

You can also just rev it in park. You have to depress the accelerator nearly all the way.
