Startup after setting?

I've read here that if you floor the accelerator before pushing start, the engine will roll over but not start. This would let get the oil pressure up before start is this TRUE?

I've never heard that one. Nothing in the owners supplement. But if so I'm up to always learning something new.

Yes, that works. Floor the gas pedal and push the button. It'll crank for a while then stop. Mine has never sat for very long so I've never seen the oil pressure take more than a fraction of a second to come up, but I use it on every oil change to make sure there's no air in the oil system.

Never tried it on the 350 but it works on other Ford's.

I've heard about it but never done it. It's there by design.

You cannot empty oil lines of oil when you drop it. It has a valve not allowing oil to drop back , so only goes one way up the lines... No point doing this to my knowledge.

Good luck filling the oil filter 100% with oil. Also, the oil filter has the valve you mention, unless Ford added one specifically for the GT350.

You're introducing air on every oil change no matter how hard you try. You'd have to put the car on a rotisserie to spin the oil filter on vertically and not spill out oil making an air pocket.

Interesting... never knew this. #funfact

Supposedly a lot of wear comes at startup, Large diesels have a preluber they sell kits for cars. I just like the idea of getting some oil moving before ignition, the voodoo sure growls at startup.
