I remember the dash mx manual saying something about leaving them at start/feather for 30 seconds before shut down, so that you can get an adaquate oil check.

Also, know that if you dont wait the 30 seconds, the prop will be hard to spin by hand. Noticeable when spining the blades during preflight.
