<p>An inventive system lubricates an engine with oil prior to starting the engine. In one embodiment, the system includes an electric engine oil pump (26) for lubricating the engine, a transmitter (28) for transmitting a radio frequency signal, and a receiver (30) for receiving the radio frequency signal and for actuating the electric engine oil pump (26). The oil pump (26) is actuated when a driver uses the transmitter (28) to remotely unlock the doors of the vehicle. In this manner, the driver passively actuates the oil pump (26) prior to starting the engine. <IMAGE></p> |
