Pre-start oil pumps, are they helpful?
 
Hello everyone...

I heard that 30-80% of an engines wear and tear happen at startup because at that short moment the engine oil is not at the pressure or areas it should be.

When I thought about getting a new car I thought I would invest in one to make sure I protect my engine the best I could.

Has anyone had any experiances with a "PRE-start" oil pump? If so, how much was it and would a rotary experiance the same benifits as a normal piston engine?

These pumps also can pump the oil out of the engine to make the oil change that much better.

Thanks in advance for your input?

They are very helpfull when it comes to dry starts they also give you a few more seconds
to shut off your engine if you lose oil pressure. But I think oil injection on the rotary takes care of dry starts. Prices are about $150 and up. You just need to find an oil filter addapter
that fits the RENESIS in order to run your lines.
