Re: What are the possible reasons for slow oil pressure on start up

Bill, just a thought . . . .

Most wear happens at start-up (- motor cold, cylinder walls have 'drained', etc). So until you've solved the oil pressure problem it might be worthwhile using an oil additive (friction modifier like Wynns). These leave a coating of slip agent like Molybdenum Disulphide or such on surfaces even when the oil drains away overnight. A few dollars for some peace of mind(?) might be worthwhile.
