Random question - how far off the bottom of the pan would you think is the minimum safe oil level? I'm planning to try to put a float switch in for a low oil level warning system when I have the motor apart next. Probably going to wind up putting 3-4 qts in the pan with it sitting on the floor and seeing where that level winds up at. Don't want it set too high and get false alarms all the time, but also not too overly low.
Guess a better question might be what's the minimal amount of oil you'd want in the sump? I'm guessing 1-2 qts is going to be in the system / draining at any given time so you'd have 6-7 in there normally. But that's more or less a guess.....
Thoughts?
