    Default How much oil??

    I know a bit more motor oil is a good thing for those of us who actually race our cars.

    But how much do you kids run?

    Why not get one of these along with an oil cooler?
    That way you can also increase the amount of oil in the car and give yourself peace of mind.

    I use just slightly less the 4 qts. I'm old school when it comes to filling the oil, I don't want to blow my O rings.
    Blah blah blah!

    i kissed a girl that was knowledgeable in this field. we need to compare notes, i think i wanna throw up now.

    and i run 4 qts. but never worried if i was around a 1/4 over, but with 4 qts, youll prolly not over, unless you forgot to change the filter or something.
