Boxer Eu 4 - oil priming
Fitted a remanufactured engine and I'm trying to prime it. I put 6l of oil in and turned it over a few times with the starter for about 10-15s a time but oil pressure is still saying low. Any thoughts on how to prime it?
Re: Boxer Eu 4 - oil priming
Not sure if i understand, have you actually had the engine running? Or are you just trying to get the oil light to go out when turning over?
Re: Boxer Eu 4 - oil priming
When turning over with the starter. It won't start as the injectors are disconnected. Are cranking speeds not enough for the oil light to go out?
Re: Boxer Eu 4 - oil priming
I wouldn't expect the oil light to go out at cranking speeds at all. It would normally not go out till a couple of seconds of the engine running at idle speed. On a new engine or one that's just had an oil change & new filter can take an extra few second on the first start up till the new filter fills up. I would think any more than 5 seconds though with a new filter.
