Unless you race, it's a waste of money and even then I question the need for one. As far as "dry starting", ever tear apart a motor that has sat for a year or so? They still have a nice coat of
oil on everything. Your engine is typical and I wouldn't worry. Unless you want one just to say you have one, save your money.
