Just wanted to get some feedback on this. Installed a Oil Filter relocation on my hybrid 3.0. Filled engine with oil and went to crank it up (was completly cold). 10 seconds no oil pressure. Stopped the motor and pulled the oil filter. Was full of oil. Started engine again for 10-15 seconds again no oil pressure. Pondered on the problem and started it once more for say 20 seconds and again no pressure. Stopped the motor and discovered my oil hose lines on the oil filter relocation kit were crossed. Switched them up and immediate normal oil pressure!

I'm concerned about the 30-45 seconds of completly cold running time with no oil pressure. I heard no out of the ordinary noise. Do you think I did any damage to the engine or bearings?

Things to keep in mind...

1. Engine was completly cold

2. Engine was filled with 6 1/2 quarts of mobil one 5-30 just minutes before cranking

3. Always had oil pressure going as far as the oil filter, but none on the return line back to the block.



That sucks.

If you didn't rev it up at all, you might have added 50k miles to your engine. If you did rev it up, 100k miles or more.
