I run the dishwasher empty for a cycle w/o soap before I put my bottles in to rinse it. Assuming your bottles are clean already just run it on high heat, forget dipping them in star san after they come out and they'll basically be dry once they're cool enough to handle. Trust me those buggers will be hot. Use enough sugar for all 5gallons not 4.5 and use the siphon not the spigot, you don't want a lot of splashing, putting O2 in your beer. All of your other steps are good.

I agree but I use carbonation drops myself

Here is my system. Never had an OxyClean problem:
1-rince bottle after drinking and let it dry upside down
2-wait til I have 12 bottles cleaned
3-place them in a bucket w/OxyClean
4-when I have another 12 bottles I take out the first batch, lables are gone by then.
5-rince and let drip dry upside down (the 12 that just came out of the oxyClean
6-store the cleaned, de-labled,dry bottles in a closed plastic box
7-soak clean bottles in Star San on bottleing day for a few minutes
7a-put bottle caps in a strainer and dip into StarSan and let drip
8-place bottles on lower rack of dishwasher after spraying StarSan on the rack
9-place bottling bucket on the diswasher
10-fill bottles and place on counter
11-place sanitized caps on bottles and cap.
