You guys are overthinking it. You have the electric valve accumulator. It can only be open (allowing oil to flow from the accumulator) or closed (not allowing oil to flow from the accumulator). You open the valve before you start the engine for the first time (for example, at the first day at a race). You leave the valve open all day long, and at the end of the day, when it's time to put the car back in the trailer, the last thing you do is raise the engine RPM (and therefore, the oil pressure) a little bit, for a few seconds. This "charges" the accumulator. You then close the valve and repeat the procedure on Day 2, Day 3, etc.
