What is the best engine oil level for continuous high rpm driving or for example when you take your car for a spin on a race track?
Do you keep the engine oil level below the F mark or keep the oil level a little (quart? or so) lower?
I was watching some car show on TV about it (lower oil level) producing a few more HP snd less splashing and foaming, etc.
The hp gain didn't seem significant to me. I always wonder when people say you gain or or lose 5 or 7 hp at 5500 rpm doing this or that and the engine has 4 to 500 hp to begin with ... i.e. The loss or gain is insignificant to me but I neither race nor am I ever near those high RPMs for long.
Anyway, curious about oil splashing or hp gain or any other advantages if you keep the oil level below F.
