I always just turn the key directly to crank and skip the glow after I change the oil. Engine is usually still fairly warm at that point, so it starts after about 6-7 revolutions....and about 3-4 seconds after that the oil pressure pegs. I also use synthetic oil, and synthetic really clings to the metal surfaces, it completely coats the lobes on the cam....even when the engine has been off for days or more. I am betting little to no excess wear occurs during those few seconds. Probably less wear than takes place in an engine starting up on 15w40 dino oil in super cold temps. So, I am not concerned.
