Quote: Those who say they have never ran out of oil with one and a stock 4-5 QT pan has never run there car for a extended periods of hi RPM to know. My
I'll have to be the one I guess. I've had tons of vehicles with HV pumps. No deep pans.
10W30 oil, windage tray and a quart over full. Did it for 30 years, ain't gonna change now either.
My Jensen is a stock pan, windage tray and runs a quart over full of 10W30. I beat it senseless all the time. My Charger is a stock depth pan, windage tray and a quart over full of 10W30 weight.
Running 20w50, no windage tray and stock oil level isn't MY idea of "an ounce of prevention"....
In fact when the windage trays were made available service reps advised running an extra quart. I seem to remember that it was also in a FSM but wouldn't swear to that. Not to prevent the pan from being pumped dry but to prevent oil from being pulled away during launch or hard braking.
