Motor Pre Oil Kit-Frequent Questions
Q: I have a 1997 Ford F150 truck that has developed hydraulic valve lifter noise when it first starts in the morning and it is gradually getting louder.
The guy at the quick-change oil service I use told me that synthetic oil would solve the problem.
But after spending all the money to changing to synthetic oil the engine still makes the same racket as before.
Will your Pre lube kit eliminate the lifter clatter on start-ups?
A: Yes the hydraulic valve lifters making the noise will be pressurized and adjusted before the first revolution of the crankshaft.
The lifter noise and further wear will be eliminated. No need to use synthetic oil or multi grade oil with the Insta-Lube system working.
Q: How difficult is the Insta-Lube kit to install?
A: There are 3 easy steps to install the kit. A good mechanic can do it in less than an hour.
Q: I have a Winnebago motor home with a 440 CID engine; will the pre lube system work on my engine as well as my four-cylinder Toyota?
A: Yes the Inst-Lube engine pre lube kit will work on all auto, boat, car, truck, motor home, marine, suv, tractor and industrial engines and motors.
Q: I am using a miracle oil additive that is supposed to eliminate wear on start up so why would I need to install the Inst-Lube Kit?
A: There are a lot of oil additives that claim to eliminate some wear by depositing a film of lubricant on the bearings surfaces.
But none of this will pressurize and adjust the hydraulic valve lifters or positively separate bearing surfaces with pressurized oil like the Inst-Lube pre-oiler will.
Q: It's a well known fact that most of the motor-bearing wear is at start-up, so why don't the manufactures address the problem?
A: The answer to that is very simple, it's called planed obsolescence. If they made engines to last as long as possible they wouldn't sell very many of them.
Q: Does the oil that is used by the Inst-Lube kit come from the bottom of the oil pan like the motorized systems do?
A: No the Insta-Lube system takes pre-filtered oil from the oil gallery when the engine is running and stores it for pre-lubing on the next startup. Eliminating any possibility of contaminates ever reaching the engine bearings.
Q: Will the kit fit my 7320 John Deere tractor?
A: The kit will work very well on your John Deere tractor engine, as well as for all auto engines, boat engines, car engines, motor home engines, truck engines, suv engines, marine inboard engines, van engines, stationary engines, industrial engines, and motors. There are four kit sizes to choose from.
Q: How good is the pre-lube kit in cold weather?
A: The Insta-Lube kit is especially valuable in cold weather start-ups because the main bearings and rod bearings will be pressurized and separated before the first revolution of the crankshaft regardless of how cold it is.
Q: I have a classic car with 6-volt electrical will the pre oiler work on it?
A: Yes the kit will work on 24-volt, 12-volt and 6-volt systems.
Q: Will installing the kit void my engine warranty?
A: Your warranty will not be affected by installing the Insta-Lube kit.
According to the MAGNUSON-MOSS WARRANTY ACT OF 1975installing aftermarket equipment does not void a vehicle manufacturer's original warranty.
Q: After installing the Insta-Lube pre-lube system, will there be less emission?
A: The pre-lube kit will improve engine efficiency on start-up because the hydraulic valve lifters will be pressurized and adjusted before the first revolution of the crankshaft.
As well as reducing friction and wear to the main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft bearings, piston wrist pins and cylinder walls.
