The oil film the engine requires is ONLY present after the engine is running.
A good case for a pre-lube system could be made.
ESp since one can be created at little cost , besides space aboard.
The reason some folks will use a quart of the same brand of Synthetic added to the stock oil is synthetic is claimed to have better sheer strength.
With a problem in the engine , like an overheat , the extra sheer ability might help the engine not freeze up.
Items driven with gears also like great sheer strength lubrication.
All insurance is a gamble ,with life insurance you bet you will die, the insurance co bets you wont.
The cost of a quart of Syn oil in the crankcase , like a gal of 2 stroke OB oil in the fuel is "insurance".
The cost is low , the savings perhaps great , and one does not need to drop dead to collect.
