If you are sucking the pan dry on a 1/4 mile pass you have issues.

There is no POSSIBLE way to suck a pan dry like that. If the pick up is .250 from the floor of the pan (depending on the pick up) like it should be you can't suck a 5 quart pan dry in one pass.

I guess you could have some issue with oil return and the heads are holding oil it's POSSIBLE. If that's the case, the fix isn't more oil in the pan. It's to figure out how to get the oil out of the heads.

I thought the old wives tale of sucking pans dry was gone. Evidently not.
