Hi,

I understand that most wear and tear on the engine occurs when you start the car after the engine had been off for a while (i.e. overnight). That split second before the oil pump pumps the oil into every nuk and cranny of the engine.

I have 2 questions:

1. How come there isn't a way to hook up oil pump to contact switch so that oil starts pumping as soon as you give contact and before you turn the engine (pardon my ignorence if I just asked something umbelivably stupid)?

2. I heard that it is good to give contact, wait 2-3 seconds and then start the engine? Why (if so) is that good?

Thank you for your input.
