Default How to turn the gas engine "on" after oil change (?????)

Basic question - haven't seen much on it... Now I know I wanted 4.25qts, so we went with that - but the mechanic wanted to "check it" after changing.

We could find no way (in the bay) to turn on the engine. I went to pwr mode to no avail... How do you turn on the engine???

Turn the car on in the normal fashion, leave it in park then push the gas pedal down and it will start.

You can also just put it on defrost and max heat that will keep the ICE running.

Then, place it in neutral. The engine will continue to run.

I think until it runs out of gas. I don't think the traction battery is charged in neutral either, so eventually you will get a message telling you to put the car in park.
I haven't done it though, so not sure.
