Does anyone here use any type of prelube system? The basic concept is that either an electric pump or contained pressure bring the oil pressure up before starting the engine -- this is to mitigate the damage caused during the start-up/warm-up phase (supposedly accounts for 85% of engine wear. The theory is that engine oil has all drained to the bottom and has cooled -- during the start-up you basically have metal-on-metal until the oil re-circulates and thins by getting warm.)
The concept seems valid, but does anyone have any real world experience with any of these products??
