Default oil pre-charger

Anybody have any thoughts on the prechargers out there? I am partial to Amsoil so i was thinking about picking up theirs. Its 400 bucks and is a resevoir that is powered by the oil pump. So when you have a cold start you power it on by turning the ignition to on and it sprays oil onto the engine. Then the car is ready to start. Here is a link

i think it would be worth it if you couldn't buy a low milage motor for less than the cost of that thing.

Just a quick question, but is there a way to recharge the pre-charger?
