This looks like a good product. Although I don't see the price anywhere on their website.

This is another interesting article, even if it is for motorcycles.

Turbo Electric Oil Feed and Scavenge Pumps

I'd like to build something like this for my MB.

This seems like a solution for vehicles that sit for years at a time without being started. The best way to store a car long-term is to drive it.

When I first joined the TDR about 10 years ago, pre-lube devices were the rage. Unfortunately, many were frought with problems, they wouldn't work when they were most needed, in extreme cold. There is also the possibility that an external line could fracture or break, dumping your oil all over the ground. All the pre-lubing in the world won't help that problem.

Pre-lubers have been virtually unmentioned in years. IMO, for the class of engines we're dealing with here, they're simply not necessary.
