Pon-6 Pre Oiler May 2026

The PON-6 taps into your engine’s oil galley (usually via a sandwich plate at the oil filter or a dedicated port). It contains a small electric pump and a reservoir that stores a charge of pressurized oil. When you turn your ignition to the "ON" position (or hit a manual button), it pre-lubricates all bearings, lifters, and turbo journals with oil at around 15-20 PSI. Only after that cycle (typically 6-10 seconds) does it allow you to crank the starter. On shutdown, it can also post-lube your turbo, preventing coking.

Here’s where the PON-6 shines. Before installation, my cold-start oil pressure gauge would sit at zero for 2-3 agonizing seconds, then spike to 45 PSI. After installation? Now, when I turn the key to “ON,” I hear a quiet, smooth whirring sound. My aftermarket oil pressure gauge jumps to — before the starter even engages. The difference in engine sound is stark: Instead of a brief “dry rattle” from the valvetrain, it just catches with a dull, oil-muffled thump and immediately idles smoother. pon-6 pre oiler

The PON-6 Pre-Oiler is not a necessity; it’s an investment in engine longevity. It solves a problem you can’t see (dry starts) and prevents damage you won’t feel until 50,000 miles later. If you plan to keep your vehicle for another decade or you’ve got a built motor, this is one of the best bolt-on insurance policies available. Drop one star for the fiddly installation and the need for extra adapters on some engines. But for performance enthusiasts and hyper-milers alike, the PON-6 delivers on its promise: oil pressure before fire, every single time. The PON-6 taps into your engine’s oil galley

On hot restarts (e.g., after a gas station fill-up), the PON-6 eliminates the classic “hot start knock” that plagues high-mileage engines. For turbocharged owners, the post-lube feature (adjustable 30-180 seconds) has visibly reduced the oil staining on my turbo center section. No more hot shut-down sizzle. Only after that cycle (typically 6-10 seconds) does

If you’ve ever cringed hearing your engine clatter on a cold start, or worried about the dry-scrape of metal-on-metal after an oil change, you’re not alone. The vast majority of engine wear (some studies suggest up to 80%) happens in the first few seconds after startup, before oil pressure has fully built up. Enter the , a device designed to eliminate that dreaded dry start by pressurizing your oil system before you even turn the key. I’ve been running this unit on my 6.0L diesel work truck for 18 months now. Here’s the unabridged truth.
