Next message: JAM: "lv-ab: Volvo MD 17C"
I think I remember reading about a ($250+)oil change pump permanently installed to the sump which had an option to double as a pre-oiler. I think it tee'd back into the gallery at the gauge or something like that. And of course there were misc other hoses and valves involved.
