Oil cooler/Level question
I'm trying to get this straight in my head.
2002 ZO6
I had an external oil cooler installed on my car for track days. I can't remember the name of the cooler (Stefs?). It holds better than a quart of oil. I run the stock pan with some baffles welded in to help keep the oil at the pick up under open track use. Do I need to run the car a quart OVER full, to have the normal amount of oil in the pan when running, or doesn't it matter? I do notice that even though my oil temp now never gets above 220 on track days, the pressure DOES go down at sustained high rpm driving.
Thanx

Hopefully that indirectly answers your question.
