I just install a 1 1/2 qrt oil accumulator on mine. I put a T fitting on the oil pressure sender I open to valve when the glow plugs are heating and when it starts it makes pressure quick I have 1/4 in hose on it and will make a max of about 20 pounds if you run the motor, shut off the open the valve

Even on motors that do have the delayed oil psi syndrome, I have yet to see one have any identifiable real effect as a result of it, including in cases where they have been running this way every day for many years. Of my own 3 D24T cars, two make immediate pressure after startup and the other one takes quite a while. Doesn't seem to matter. The slow one has been doing it as long as I have had it, which is 30k miles, and probably was doing it a long time before that. I think the cam and the turbo would be the first things to suffer, and no issues thus far. I'm careful not to put my foot into it until the light goes out, and try to keep the oil level up since that seems to help; otherwise, I ignore it. I have pictures of some oil pumps I had apart last year where I was seeing some relief piston wear that I think might be responsible for this in cases where it occurs -- no empirical data since I wasn't able to run those motors, but that's the best explanation I can think of. As to what causes that, I don't know; my guess is that Volvo's original service recommendation of conventional 15W40 oil, changed every 7500 miles, with filter changes only every 15,000 miles (!) probably meant that towards the end of the filter's life, on cold mornings with 15-40 in the sump, the filter was bypassing a fair amount of the time and lubrication was not so good. |

I would also like to see a picture or drawing of this setup.

I used the oil sender for my oil galley ascess
The hose is 1/4 in hydrolic line. It may not flow the Best when cold but any oil is better than none Its just a little piece of mind for me. |
