How It Works
The No Dry Starts® system solves cold-start wear by building full oil pressure
before the engine ever cranks
The Complete Start Sequence
Key Turn Detection
When the driver turns the ignition key or presses the START button, our intelligent controller immediately detects the signal.
- •Instant electronic detection
- •No delay in driver experience
- •Compatible with push-button and key ignition
Electric Pump Activation
Our integrated electric oil pump fires instantly, drawing oil from the pan and forcing it through the engine galleries.
- •High-flow electric pump (not mechanical)
- •Fully self-contained sandwich-mount design
- •No external hoses or reservoirs
Oil Galleries Fill
The pump floods all critical bearing surfaces: mains, rods, cam journals, turbo bearings, and valve train components.
- •Crankshaft journals lifted on oil film
- •Camshaft bearings fully lubricated
- •Turbocharger bearings protected from dry spin
Pressure Verification
Our integrated pressure sensor monitors oil pressure in real-time, ensuring safe levels are achieved before allowing ignition.
- •Real-time pressure monitoring
- •Lockout controller prevents premature start
- •Typically 1-2 seconds to achieve target pressure
Protected Start
Only after full pressure is confirmed does the system release the starter motor. The engine cranks with zero metal-to-metal contact.
- Zero dry-start wear
- Hydrodynamic film established before rotation
- Engine starts as if already warmed up

Simple Installation
Mounting
Installs between engine block and oil filter using a sandwich adapter—just like an oil cooler or remote filter kit. No custom fabrication required.
Wiring
Simple 3-wire connection: Power, Ground, and Ignition Signal. Integrates with existing starter circuit.
Compatibility
Universal design fits gasoline, diesel, turbocharged, naturally aspirated, and performance engines. Cars, trucks, fleets, and marine applications.
