Lodge 17 inch skillet/pan need to season or not for egg

GoldenQ

I just bought the lodge 17 inch skillet/pan with two handles for my XL.   I plan to use for vegs and steaks mostly plus occasional cobbler or etc.    Since the egg gets the CI very hot should I season and if so with crisco or flaxseed oil.   Also, will it burn the coating off after each or a few uses.       What do you do for CI      Thoughts and recommendations please

Most lodge come preseasoned but always coat with a good layer of bacon fat before I use them and add a little more oil after each cook.

I'm with @TN_Sister_State regarding Lodge and pre-seasoned but here's a link with some useful info:

Nice skillet you purchased.  The biggest I've got is the 15, so I know your 17 is a BEAST.  That would be one heck of a cobbler.

In regards to seasoning, I strip the factory seasoning and do 5 rounds of baked on lard - cooling in between.

I'd strip and grind it smooth since it's new.

So many ways this could be twisted...
