Well I am here to gain knowledge so please don't throw tomatoes and trash here folks.
I am not talking about anybody here but my own opinion on this, but is a dry start really non-existant.
Because I really understand a new engine out of the box and placed in a vehicle is a scenario where you need to worry about a dry start.
But after purchasing a vehicle isn't it already prepared and a car is already to go with all it's lubrication.
Moreover, you really don't need to worry about a dry start after changing an oil filter unless the car has been sitting a long time;
there will be enough oil left coating the internals for that brief period of time before oil is recirculated.
Oil is greasy as heck, and if you poured a bucket over your head and stood there for 2 hours, you will still be slippery. It's tough get that off your skin as it is.
So I am saying, isn't all this talk about dry start a misconception.
Do we really mean that we want that 8 tablespoons of oil in the filter to feel better.
Really mean:
Dry start = 8 tablespoon of oil start so I feel better.
I just feel TECHNICALLY there is no such thing as a dry start.
If oil fell to the bottom of the oil pan like water than the engine parts is dry like a countertop, then I would say that could be dry starting.
I really don't worry about dry starting until I came into the forums.
Personally, I thought changing the oil and filter was doing a good job in itself as a regular person trying to keep their car in good shape.
I really want less things to worry about.
Moreover, poeple say there is a half quart in the engine still after draining.
Just bored and thinking about dry starts.
