Typically very little on dry sump engines as the scavenge side of pump has to have a much greater flow than pressure side. This assumes no wet sumping which can happen over time with a stationary engine.

In answer to what you should do now assuming engine has been run, I would just leave it as plenty of fresh oil plus a filter change.
