It is very difficult to

extra.

If you really want an engine to last use an oil compressor, available
in the USA, so only available here by mail order from the US. It
maintains oil compression in a vessel. When the crank starts it spurts
the oil right through the galleries to the dry bearings, far faster
than the oil pump can do.


Sorry, I think that I have lost it here. You buy synthetic oil which is
"very difficult to compress". Then you buy an oil compressor to compress
this "very difficult to compress" oil? Is that right?



It keeps oil compressed in a container, so that when the crank moves oil is
injected into the galleries. Overnight the oil runs down into the sump
leaving the galleries and engine upper end dry. That is one reason why most
engine wear is in the start/warm up stages.


That's because ******* like you think this kniowledge was doscovered
yesterday, and never ran engines with pressure gauges.

The rest of us know not to gun an engine at the startup.

And take the first 10 miles easy till the oil is up to temp.

LOT cheaper than snake oil and add on goodies.
