I just watched a show where they show how too much oil causes cavitation worse than with just a little less.

They say on some engines the recommended level is too high causing the crank to splash through the oil.
Causes drag and whips the oil into a foam.

With an engine on the dyno they took out a little oil at a time.
Each time oil pressure improved and hp went up.

The level they ended up at was well below what was recommended.
No, but I have data from multiple national championship winning cars that run slicks on banked ovals, that would otherwise have dead engines if the engine were starved of oil.
