Oil Change F-Up

[Super Sled]

Its a dry sump system. The sump does not pump oil to the motor. The sump oil pump is for pumping the oil to the tank only. The oil is pumped from the tank to the motor. Adding oil to the motor does nothing to pressurize the bearings or anything else in the motor. The only time you need to add oil to the motor is after a rebuild.

Now if you want to add oil to the motor go ahead but its pointless! Its the tank that feeds the high pressure oil pump that feeds the motor. Its the sump pump which is a low pressure evacuation pump that feeds the tank. So the oil you add to the motor is just pumped to the tank where you could have added it to begin with.

Xcellent analysis!

After checking this thread, decided to check my screen when changing my oil, and my screen had aluminum shavings as well as some other stuff on it. Definately glad I cleaned it.
