Ctrp 0603 Pan 15 Z

This chart was our big surprise over the two days we spent testing. Weran Champ's high-end single kick-out pan with and without the windagetray and were surprised to see the results were better without the tray.This, however, turned out to be a flawed test. With just 5 quarts of oilin the system, the pan could adequately protect the crankshaft from theoil with or without the pan. But use 7 quarts in the system, as weshould have done, and put the engine in a car that's on a racetrackwhere the oil will slosh around, and the results will be much different.
