Anyone use an engine "pre-lube system"?

[jbrown9999]

Quick background, before my SHO, I had a Crown Vic for 16 years and before that I had a '95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX that I had installed a manual boost controller, ported intake and aftermarket intake.
So, I'm back to another AWD Turbo!

Back then, oil starvation and coking on the turbos was a big deal so I invested in a pre-lube system that would delay startup until oil pressure had kicked in and then actually keep oil circulating after shut down to cool the turbos.

Ok, enough history.  I know the main journals on our turbos are both oil lubricated and have a water jacket so coking is no longer a problem, but what about startup oil starvation?  Has anyone installed or considered installing a pre-lube system?  The only one I can find now is this http://www.engineprelube.com/ ?

To avoid any worries I always use Motorcraft full synthetic in my 12 SHO

Oils have also improved manifold over the years, so using a quality full synthetic along with an MC filter should minimize worries.  The turbos don't kick in right away because they can spin up so fast.  By that time, oil pressure should have built up already.  I would worry more about leaks from the oil supply lines than oil pressure TBH.

Definitely would not mind having the prelube system though!  One can always crank with the gas pedal to the floor (to cut off injectors) to get the oil flowing, but that can be cumbersome and noisy.

Agree with Bone.....just use a quality full synthetic oil such as Amsoil or Redline and your engine and car will be golden in conjunction with the Motorcraft Fl-500s oil filter and to top it off a bottle of Heet on every tank during the cold winter months.
I'm going on almost 4 years of sub-zero Temps here in NY and no issues whatsoever and make sure to top off the fluids . Z
