You guys are FAILING to see the point... the MAX line on an SVT is 5.8Qts... THAT IS NOT ENOUGH....
For those that doubt, please reference previous post from Demon stating the SAME thing as this:
even 12 or 16 oz is a HUGE amount when the pan is literally RUNNING DRY. You may not want to THINK that half a quart of oil will make a difference, but I will be the one to sit here and help diagnose your knocking sound, or your engine dying... and I will continue to help you, even if you do so choose to ignore READILY ACCEPTED recommendations, and KNOWN ways to avoid problems.
Run more than the manual states..
'Nuff said.. (haha)
