pre-oiler for engine??
Was told that this device helps eliminate engine wear at startup. Dont really have any more info, but it sounds like a good idea. Turn the key and oil is pumped to cylinders right before engine cranks...

I have been working on vehicles or over 50 years, and as far as I know all "canisters" oil filters have a drain back valve in them. Also most oil filters, and the one on my Ford 5.4, are on the bottom of the block and screw on in an upright position. So there is NO WAY that oil can drain out of filter into the crank case on the Ford engine. Whenever I change the oil in a vehicle, if the filter it in an upright position, I will fill the filer with oil before installing, so the upon start up you will get lubrication sooner. Even on angle mounted filters you can fill the filter to the top and it will soak in a bit, so that you can install filter and not spill any oil, to get oil pressure sooner.
Standard practice when working on engines, is to pre-lubricate all moving parts when installing with oil or special grease, so that part will have some lubrication when you start up.
