This question has been asked many, many times. I personally remember Ed Peters saying that while the engine is running at full tilt that there is only about about 1 quart in the pan. I've even quoted this.
I would like to know if that is actually accurate. I feel bad that I've quoted a "fact" that I've not heard of being proven by anybody else.
I wonder if Warren Stramer or Ken (5digits), or anybody else for that matter have any real world experience with this? If I had a running engine I'd seriously consider putting a window in a pan to really find this out, but I don't.
I think this is a fairly important piece of information that a lot of people would like to know. So, can the information I remember from Mr. Peters be confirmed? I certainly would like to know, and I want to make sure the information that I've given is accurate.
