That saying to run a deep pan oil or tranny is just stupid to run less oil/atf. That’s the same effect as running ur stock pan 2 quarts low. Would u do that? Ofcourse not. Kim
Same number of quarts in the trans, as the stock pan, will result in the level being further away from the rotating parts.
PS: stock eliminator, with stock sized oil pan, baffels, windage tray, ran 3 qts of 10 wt oil, "back in the day". Never had a problem. Of course, did maintance on a very frequent basis. Car ran about 1 sec under the national record/index, when there was no such thing as "breaking out". With 101 hp every little bit helps.
