In the underhood fuse box, if you pull the 25 amp fuel injector fuse, you can crank 'till your heart's content. Didn't seem to throw any codes either. I finished up an oil change today and gave it a try. With the OEM filter bone dry, I cranked it for 10 to 15 seconds 4 different times waiting at least 1 minute between cranking sessions. This was not enough to get the oil light to go out. I got impatient and put the fuse in, and when I started it, I had oil pressure in about 5 seconds. That's an improvement since I've seen it take as long as 10 seconds after an oil change.
Excellent, thanks!! It sounds like it takes longer for the oil pump to build pressure on this engine than on my old Dodge. That usually took 10-15 seconds of cranking, and the light would go out nearly instantly after starting it. Still, that only means that this pre-lubing is probably even more beneficial for the CRD's engine.
