Would that hold true in track driving and if so, would that maybe add a little extra time in those corners before the oil gets too low?
I sometimes overfill the oil by 0.3qt during oil change, because the dipstick is just not very accurate. I didn't see any noticeable difference in logged oil pressure. I did't try 0.5qt overfill since it is not very far from 0.3qt. I am hesitate to go for 1 qt overfill. If someone tried it on the track with logged pressure and UOA please let me know.
