Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
Hey guys!
My pajero's been sitting in the underground parkade for approx. 3 months without being started(turned over)
The engine oil is good(1000km), fluids levels are good.
As all the oil has drained into the sump, my concern is starting the engine without any oil coating the internals... Is it wise for me to disconnect the glowplugs and turn the engine over without starting to coat the internals? Suggestions? Is this a worry or am I just overthinking it?
Many Thanks,
Kurt

I would just crank your key over without letting your glow-plugs warm up, that should be enough cranking to get some oil flowing. you are over-thinking for the most part, I think the same way you do hahaha. just crank it over without heating the glow-plugs first and that will be fine.
