You have to understand that on the Duratec a TON of oil is pumped into the heads, so you won't see crank sloshing. In fact think it was SHO Shop that made a pan with a window in it and at around 5000rpm, with 5.8qts of oil in the engine the pan was almost empty!!!  That's why they added and extra oil drain in the 3.0L to speed up the oil return to the pan.
When I build up my 2.5L I'm putting in an etra accumulator in the cabin air filter location for sure!
BTW, I run 6 full qts of oil.
