No, its not click bait.....
So today I changed my oil in my GT500. Typically what I do in my GT350Rs after an oil change or if the car sits for a while is to hold in the clutch and press the throttle all the way to the floor. This results in a failed start attempt. I do this twice and the oil pressure builds up substantially.
Today i tried this trick with the GT500 after an oil change. After 3 start attempts, the oil pressure got up to about 60 PSI. I then started the car normally. There was no delay in oil pressure like you would see after an oil change.
To me, it seems that turning the car over primes the oil system and the engine is not running without oil while the OPG primes and pumps.
Thoughts?
By the way, the oil was very clean with no signs of contaminants. Sample is off to blackstone labs for analysis.
