The best thing to do, is if you do want to build up oil pressure before
starting, without a pre-oiler, don't pull the choke out. Why you would
wan't to do this compleatly baffels me. It takes so littel time for the
oil pressure to build up, and you don't rev the engin whe you start do
you? If you do then that will cause much more engin wear.
You also have to remember that if you start turing the engin over to let
the oilpressure go up, you will go through starter moters, batterys,
solinoids, and altinators like there is no tomorow. I suspect the
amount of ware you would put on the engin by doing it this way will be
many times the ware from starting it normaly.
Yes get a spinon oil filter, and a pre oiler if you must, but for the
sake of the whole engin, not just the cheap bearings, don't attempt to
get high oil pressure.
The other thing to note is you must let yor engin warm fully, before
using the full revs, and power. You must not let the engin idle to warm
up when it's cold, this is even worse than raging it when it's cold.
You will barly have any oil pressure, and you will go through the baring
quickly, brobebly 100 times as much ware as the 10 seconds of no oil
pressure. To see this distruction happen, have a look out the window
when thers a frost, everyone will have the engins running, everything
on, and be defrosing the window. Battery will be discharging still,
engin suffering, all so that the car will get warmer slightly quicker.
To start you car, get all the windcreens defrosted, and clear of ice,
start the engin, drive away imediatly, but not to hard.
Or get a BMW and have a look at the points the EMS gives you for the
treatment of the car.
