Well I think 576 pretty much summed it up. I have also used my own version of the Accusump to supply a small oil flow to the turbo on shut down. This set up stops coking / burning of the oil inside the turbo. My set up takes 3 1/2 min. to drizzle oil on the hot bearing after shut down.
I also have pre - oilers on my cobras and RV. The RV sits for a couple of months at a time but will hit 35 PSI when I hit the button. This is cheap insurance and a preventative measure that makes a lot of sense to me.
