Winterizing Your Ferrari

Here is a good idea for anyone concerned with dry starts and premature wear to the motor as a result:

its self explanatory, click on the tech. info link. Basically, its an oil reservoir that holds pressurized oil while the car is running, AND while its not running. Before next startup, simply flick a switch or manually open a valve and release 3 quarts of oil at whatever pressure your motor runs at.

have fun

Yes that's the oiler commonly used by those seriously concernd with lack of/loss of lubrication issues.

Probably a better solution for most storing their cars for months at a time would probably be a product that coats metal parts such as Lubr-Moly's "graphite" oil additive.

One source: http://www.forparts.com/fluids.htm

"Many Lubro Moly products include the exclusive Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) anti-friction lubricant. The MoS2 anti-friction agent is an oil-insoluble additive that protects metal parts long after oil and grease have done their job."

"If you're looking for an outstanding synthetic, energy conserving motor oil, look to Lubro Moly's Voll-Synthese. This advanced motor oil:

supports the most severe driving conditions,
helps with cold starts,
gives better fuel mileage,
provides resistance to shearing and breakdown,
maintains excellent oil pressure and
permits superior wear protection. "


I use the Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) product frequently to provide extra lubrication and hopefully mitigate the effects of 'dry starts'.
