I think it should be pointed out that "hard" is a fairly subjective term. Some have seen problems with as little as a 3K(rpm) entrance to an onramp (cloverleaf).. Others have had multiple track days at higher than 4.5K and never had a problem. "Hard" simply wouldn't be enough of a catch-all to describe it.

It depends on the lateral forces on the car.. the engine revs, the length of time IN those two, and a combination of all three.

6.5qts is NOT a cure for this, either, as perhaps has been alluded. Running 6-6.5qts is a preventative measure, nothing more. Same thing with taking it easy on sweeping, tight, hard (or any combination of the three) turns.. doing both would be better.. running an accusump/moroso/etc would be a third addition that would provide the most protection. NONE of the three individually will be "great"...
