Question for those of you who have dry-sumped your 4-cylinder cars.
What is the tank volume everyone's using and what are you doing to keep it from draining into the crank-case when the motor isn't running? Thanks Fred |

Mine holds close to 10qts with a filter change. I bought an electronic valve to keep the oil from draining back into the sump but never installed it. My sump sits on the engine shelf so its above the case. mine leaks "maybe" a qt a week. And I run synthetic 30wt. I think it all depends on the tolerances of the oil pump.

I didnt follow the conventional plumbing routing. I feel I improved upon it. There are many ways to do the system. And that depends on what oil pump you use. Have you decided on a pump yet?
