Does M20A-FKS engine electrical oil pump prepressurize system to reduce engine startup wear?

The oil pump is electronically controlled, but not electrically driven.
Great diagram,
Thanks!
Does anyone have any experience with Pre-Lubers? Overkill for a car or worth it?
It could be useful for a USPS vehicle, but overkill for a passenger vehicle.
How many cars have you seen that have an engine fail from this type of wear? Most cars, if taken care of with regular oil and filter changes, go quite a long time and typically, the engine outlasts the body! My two cents.... waste of money.
Please show some data that backs up your assertion.
I don't see a US Postal Service vehicle as a use case where something like an Accusump ( engine oil pre-lubing device ) would be especially necessary.
Mail delivery trucks tend to be used five days a week at least, and that means they are less likely to have the oil drain away from vulnerable engine surfaces because they are driven frequently. A vehicle which sits for long periods of time without the engine being run is a more compelling use case for an engine prelubing device.

News Flash : Not everyone lives in a state which dumps salt or other corrosive chemicals on the road. As such, what might be "typical" for you is not typical for every other vehicle user.
Where I live, a rust-free vehicle that is 40 or 50 years old is a common sight. In that frame of reference, the engine does NOT outlast the body.

At least explain the underlying reason for writing "facepalm".
Otherwise the rest of us cannot possibly know what you meant.
Some of us here are a bit OCD, and would opt for this feature regardless.
