I believe that modern semi synthetic oils are better at adhering to the bearing surfaces that the old oils were, so that there is less damage on a cold startup. See also my comments posted on the Correct Grade of Petrol thread.

Going back to John's original problem, just as a thought: have the pump vanes become stuck in their slots?
