Hi guys,I do not drive my car much, it has a Motorcraft oil filter on it with a ADBV yet my engine is noisy after it has sat for two days or longer. The noise seems to last for 30 seconds to a minute which seems like an eternity while I am waiting for it to simmer down.
Anyways I was thinking about adding a real Oil pressure gauge with a T from the Oil Sending unit and possibly a oil priming system.
All of this because I am overly anal about my car I guess and my mind is telling me excessive wear is happening to the timing chain guides and other parts while the noise is happening.
So I researched all sort of options none of which I liked because of the cost, time, pain,labor etc of installing a system that probably is not needed.
I did buy new Motorcraft 5W20 Synthetic Blend oil and a quality filter that I have yet to change out thinking I may have wanted to add on some sort of priming system.
Anyways I came across a Ford GT forum where some of their members were discussing the oil priming procedures for their car which were just as easy as turn the key on floor the gas pedal and crank on it a few times until the oil light or gauge indicates pressure.
So this morning I went out to start my car to let it run like I do to keep things working well and I tried this procedure on my car and to my surprise the engine has never sounded better at start up or after warm up.
So my question is does any one do this procedure either after that car has sat or after a oil change?
After today I am a believer and I will be doing this anytime I change the oil or let my car sit.
I will say once I change out my oil and filter and prime it I plan on letting it sit for a few days to see if the new filter makes any differance on its own since I guess it is possibly I may have a defective ADBV ( Anti Drain Back valve ) in my Motorcraft filter.
