Default Anyone know anything about AUTO ENGINE LUBE

This thing is says it stores oil under pressure and brings oil pressure
up at start up ( no dry starts).

If it is what I think it is, it is a hydraulic accumulator that stores a quantity of oil while the engine is running and stores it under pressure. When you go to start, the stored oil is released prior to start-up. With the synthetics we are running, I don't think it is necessary unless you don't start much and store the car for extended periods of time.

I think that is a good idea, because with a mechanical oil pump you
allways start your car with no oil pressure. :eek:
