I'm shocked how much power can be lost.
This is in my opinion very interesting video
You really weren't surprised that they lost 60hp?Once again, LSJr's video is about 90% boring and could be summarized in about 2 minutes, but that won't monetize his pockets ....
What they proved isn't new by any means. Overfilling causes aeration of the lube and also parasitic loses, which can be huge of you grossly Overfill.
But, these results also show that normal daily driving with a tad of Overfill (1/2 qrt or less) won't be noticed by Joe Average. The losses are in the upper rpms, and only are significant when doubling the sump capacity.
Not at all. Why do you think windage trays have been common for decades in race cars?You really weren't surprised that they lost 60hp?
And yet most BITOGers here are often fond of taking things out of context. So it bears mentioning ... these results are not typical; they must be shown at the extremes of operation to get extreme results. (and the common YT viewer is even less informed than the average BITOGer, which means they are really easily duped by PF and LSJr videos ....)And yes the max hp is in upper rpm, I don't think that this video is meant for any Joe Average driving toyota corrola for example....
