e) Pump the handle on the J45299 preluber in order to flow a minimum of 1-1.9 liters (1-2 quarts) engine oil. Observe the flow of
engine oil through the flexible hose and into the engine assembly. The engine will be primed after a small amount of pressure
change is seen on the in car oil pressure gauge while pumping J45299
f) Close the valve and remove the flexible hose and adapter from the engine.
g) Apply approved thread sealer and Install the oil gallery plug to the engine and tighten to 60 N•m (44 lb ft). Top-off the engine
oil to the proper level.

2. In the absence of a preluber kit, the following process can be used. Disconnect the fuel and disconnect the ignition control
system (removing power from the ignition control module is generally recommended, but check your ignition control system
information for additional details). Note: Removal of the spark plugs will allow the engine to spin faster and build oil pressure
faster.
3. Once the ignition control system has been disconnected, crank the engine using the starter for 10 seconds and check for oil
pressure. If no pressure is indicated, wait 30 seconds and crank again for 10 seconds.
4. Repeat this process until oil pressure is indicated on the gauge.
5. Reconnect the ignition control system. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If no unusual noises are noted, run
the engine at approximately 1000 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached.
6. When possible, you should always allow the engine to warm up prior to driving. It is a good practice to allow the oil sump and
water temperature to reach 180°F before towing heavy loads or performing hard acceleration runs.
7. The engine should be driven at varying loads and conditions for the first 30 miles or one hour without wide open throttle
(WOT) or sustained high RPM accelerations.
8. Run five or six medium throttle (50%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear.
9. Run two or three hard throttle (WOT 100%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear.
10. Change the oil and filter. Replace the oil per the specification in step 1, and replace the filter with a new PF64 AC Delco oil
filter. Inspect the oil and the oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning properly.
11. Drive the next 500 miles (12 to 15 engine hours) under normal conditions. Do not run the engine at its maximum rated engine
speed. Also, do not expose the engine to extended periods of high load.
12. Change the oil and filter. Again, inspect the oil and oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning
properly.
