I talked to my friendly Rousch Duratec engineer-
He said that Ford just did a whole bunch of medium RPM dyno durability problem tests to figure out why the duratecs go toast.
well the end results-
at 5000 RPM there is less than a half pint of oil in the pan!!
WE all heard it was rumored that if we ran a half quart high on the dip stick it would help matters-
well here is what Ford said to do- RUN 1/2 to 2/3 HIGH ON THE DIPSTICK TO ALLEVIATE OIL STARVATION PROBLEMS.
but can you believe it- at 5500 rpms there was virtually no oil in the pan.
