Re: start/stop systems: I see various comments online about lube specifically no oil pressure starts. They seem to equate cold starts with hot starts and there really shouldn't be much comparison as far as engine wear. They forget that an oil film stays on the moving parts. If I were to subscribe to their theory, all my splash-lube engines should fail prematurely as they NEVER get pressurized oil.
