Pre-Oiler Tap Location

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I've purchased an electric oil pump. I wish to pull oil from the pan and push it thru a one-way valve into the oil galleries to raise the oil pressure prior to starting. I plan on using a momentary switch on the dash to activate it while watching the oil pressure gauge. These setups are sometimes also called a pre-luber.
I see no reason to use a fancy pressurized tank to do the job.
The question I have is where best to connect to the engine.
There is an oil cooler that appears to be tied to somewhere near the oil filter, but I cannot get a clear picture of it.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding choosing a connection point on the 6.5 turbo diesel?
Thanks.
