<p>A device which utilizes filtered oil to pre-oil an engine. In one embodiment of the invention, the pre-oiling device connects to the engine via a single line. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, a housing, including an oil pump, is interposed between the oil filter and the engine. The pump is energized for the pre-oiling of the engine and it draws oil from the oil pan, forces it through the filter and into the oil galleries of the engine. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the pre-oiling device accesses oil from the oil pan and pumps it through the passageway normally used by the engine's standard oil pump to supply the engine with oil. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the pre-oiling device comprises a motor coupled to the engine's standard oil pump. The motor drives the standard oil pump to accomplish the pre-oiling of the engine. A rachet may be interposed between the standard oil pump, and the shaft which normally drives it, so that the operation of the pre-oiling device does not cause the engine to turn.</p> |
