Can you put in a pre oiler in the 6.0? If so who makes one.

if u are mechanically inclined..... u would be well served to build it yourself. the timers and pumps are verry high dollar.
just make a pickup port out of ur oil drain plug, and tee it in to the oil filter feed. put in a good 100psi diaphram pump and a switch, put in a couple check valves and u got it made

I am very interested in this...it is a preventative measure… that by all means, is logical.

Hmm, very interesting. Looks like this is a new product from them. I wonder if anyone else makes them and if they're road proven.

Pre Oiler
The marine industry also uses them. On those big engines you're turning a lot of iron so it makes sense to make sure it's well lubricated before startup.

Only three things to remember if you fly…….and you only need two out of the three

Air speed…Altitude……Brains…any two of three will work…
