Pre-Lube Options

[gary1978]

I'm planning on installing a pre and post luber in an M35A2 turbo model. I have seen a variety of units for sale on the net and would like some feedback on which models are thought to work better than others. Anyone out there have any opinions on which ones might be better than others?

Save yourself the headache and just use synthetic oil and call it good.

seriously? I dunno. The non-prelubed engine becomes notceably less loud once the oil is up. I prefer to prelube. Additionally, a good kit or build will post-lube, and that is a blessing not to have to wait around cooling down when pulling into the Cracker Barrel for breakfast. There's always a line and the sooner to get into it the better. Just make sure your hoses are tight.

Do you have a Deuce? Do you understand the LDT oiling system? You might want to reconsider handing out that advice.

{Edit in below... I'm little blunt at times..}

A stock LDT engine takes 12-15 seconds to build any oil pressure. Synthetic oil alone will not stop excessive engine bearing and turbo wear. Synthetic oil isn't magic.


OPCOM, sorry to hear about your hose failure.

Check out JATonka's oil filter adapters. 3 seconds to oil pressure. Should be other post's and see the classified.
