Question Pre-Luber install


Has anyone installed a Pre-Luber? I have been doing some research on this, and it sounds like a engine saver. Parts cost around $500.00...

Thumbs up

Sounds like a great idea!!

I haven't installed one myself, but the installation articles I've read sounded easy.

For those that don't know what it does;
A preluber is an electric pump that activates prior to starting the engine to supply oil pressure to the bearings, lifters, camshaft, etc. so you don" start a "dry" engine. Also, if you own a turbocharged engine, the pump will run for 5-10 min. after shutdown to supply oil to the turbo bearings so the oil doesn't coke and ruin the bearings.
