Paul's question raises a good additional question; at what level is
oil in the pan at idle and then at say 4000RPM?
I know at cold rest, my level is near the top of the cheek. How much gets pumped out of the pan (exposing the sensor) while running? We only need enough to keep the bottom of the pick up submerged-maybe 3/8 to 1/2 ".
And John makes a good point-maybe plugging the sensor bung and using the drain bung is a better idea?
