"What can I do to my engine to reduce wear? We recommend cutting back on excessive idling and short trips, as these driving conditions are harder on an engine. We have also seen very good results from pre-oilers, which are add-on electrical oil pumps that come on when the ignition does to build oil pressure before the engine starts. Much of the wear in your oil is caused at the start-up. Engines using a pre-oiler tend to run very low wear metals and can usually run the oil for longer use intervals."

Here is a photo of one of our customer's installation on his pickup truck. He used the GP-301 12 Volt gear pump and the 1/2" check valve (found in our "Valves and Manifolds" section. The rest of the hardware is from the local auto shops. With an extra Y fitting, you can also have an oil-change system.
