Bus and RV: Larger cubic inch gas and diesel engines that are used for work or pleasure need to last long and be reliable. A Pre/Post Lubrication System is the best Engine Start Protection you can have to protect your investment. Diesel engines start hard and would greatly benefit from Engine Start Protection available in the Pre/Post Lubrication System. These larger engines are very costly to remove and rebuild. With the possibility of saving thousands of dollars by extending the life of your engine, can you afford not to have a Pre/Post Lubrication System? Starting your engine has long been known to be the worst thing you can do to your engine. Major brand oil companies have quoted this for years. The facts are simple; oil drains back into the oil pan, oil is needed to lubricate the moving engine parts, cold oil takes longer to travel through the engine to protect these moving parts, and finally unprotected metal to metal contact wears engine components. This “wear” results in fine metal particles, these particles circulate through your engine; this is known as contamination. This metal contamination further accelerates the wear of your engine. The use of the Pre/post Lubrication System will reduce metal contaminates up to 90%. Now, what about pressure? Oil pressure is what separates the moving metal components of your engine while the engine is in operation; this includes cranking. No oil can do this without the assistance of a… …pump. The engines oil pump forces oil through the engine and the resulting interference creates pressure. This pressure separates the moving components and creates a lubricant film for these components to travel upon. Without the engines oil pump in full operation there is no pressure. [Note: This is an over simplified explanation of the engines oil system operation.] Experts have claimed that one startup on a cold engine (a.k.a. Dry Start) is equivalent to 500 miles of travel, in regards to engine wear. How many times have you started your engine this week, month, and year? The adjustable post lubrication or cool-down cycle will continue to circulate engine oil through your engine and turbocharger after the engine (and oil pump) has shut down. Engine oil will travel through the engine oil cooler, turbo, and oil galleries to transfer and draw damaging heat away from the engine. Peak water and oil temperatures are reduced and this aids in the lasting service life of the engine. The use of the Pre/Post Lubrication System, with an efficient By-Pass filtration system, will extend your engine life 2 or 3 times longer. Either the “Heavy Duty Plus” System or the “Turbo Plus” System would be suggested for these applications. Contact a Pre/Post Lubrication System representative for specific applications and accessories.
