Lubrication Question

[Werner]

Hey Jim,


I installed it exactly the same way as you. Thanks to my previous job, I had the opportunity to measure the low oil pressure before and after the filter. When the engine is started and running at 600 RPM, it takes about 20 seconds for the oil filter to fill and for oil to be pumped into the cascades. This is at approximately 20°C and with SAE 20W-40 oil.
The engine doesn't notice this delay because there's still some residual oil present at all the lubrication points.


Regarding the advice to only crank the engine with the starter motor, you should know that the pump delivers very little oil at the relatively low speed. You have to crank it for a long time.
