Turning to build pressure following oil change but not starting.

[andyiseddy02]

Is there any way of turning the engine over without it starting to get the oil flowing following an oil and filter change.
With an older car it would be a simple case of pulling the HT lead out of the cap.

Pull the fuel pump fuse

or unclip the loom from the coil packs

Not sure why you would want to do that. It takes about 1-2 seconds for the pressure to build back up after a change. No big deal.

Sounds like a sensible idea to me. Those couple of seconds without oil circulating puts extra wear on an already high mileage engine.

[rich83]

Negligible.

[LC5F]

In day to day use, I agree negligible
But if the engine is freshly built or has stood for a very long while with all the oil in the sump, getting the oil pressure up before firing is has to be a good thing.
Unfortunately the detail of why the OP wants to do this has been missed out.

Reason?

Do I have to give a reason other than it is something I want to do.

Gonna get cold in here with that attitude I reckon.

There are anti-drain back check valves in the block and oil pump to make post oil change priming unnecessary.

If you want to do it though, I recommend removing the spark plugs as the engine will turn over faster and therefore build oil pressure quicker.
