Pon-6 Pre Oiler -

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.

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. pon-6 pre oiler

After a year and a half, the PON-6 has been flawless. The pump still sounds healthy, no solenoid sticking, no leaks at the sandwich plate. My truck has 210,000 miles and uses less than half a quart of oil between changes—down from nearly a full quart before. Cold starts in 10°F weather are no longer anxiety-inducing. The only minor annoyance: The pre-lube cycle adds about 8 seconds to your “startup routine,” so you can’t just jump in, crank, and go. You learn to turn the key, then buckle your seatbelt. Here’s where the PON-6 shines

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. Now, when I turn the key to “ON,”
