In the Brasilia it's so the Aux oil pump fills such that you can do the aux feather pump test prior to the next engine start, if need be.

But, I've flown the Brasilia at 2 companies now... and the last company just had us shut 'em down when we wanted. And we never had an issue with the aux feather pump not being full.

So, who knows! Cuz they pay me, and they tell me to, I guess.
