Oil change
Hey there guys.1 quick ?.I was talking to a friend of mine and he said that after changing oil in a diesel you need to disconnect the ignition and let the motor crank until oil pressure.Then it is okay to start her up.I change oil myself and never done that or heard anything about that.Is this true? Just thought to ask the pros.Thanx and great Labor Day.

You have about a quart of oil that stays in the high pressure system reservoir that will allow the engine to run as the oil system begins to circulate oil. If there is not sufficient oil pressure built up, the engine will quit.
