Not Ranked
The oil that lubricates the pistons and cylinders is what is sprayed out of the crank. You would be amazed to see how much oil is flung off of a crank at high RPM. The stuff in the pan is not the real lube supply for the parts - its just the reservoir for the oil pump. Moving the reservoir outside of the block - dry sump - is simply a better way to keep it under control and away from the spinning bits.
