Who has installed a deep taco plate. I know more oil is better but how much do the increase the quantity and are they in harms way on speed bumps?

I have one. I think the correct name for what you're talking about is Tuna Can.
I see the advantage, in addition to some extra Oil, is it's a increased exposed area that air can pass over to help with cooling the Oil. I'd guess it adds maybe 1/3 to 1/2 quart oil but I'm not sure. When I change my Oil I go by the dip stick to determine when it's full. One word of caution is don't over tighten the bolt too much or you'll strip the thread in the Aluminum Case, just snug it. My car sits pretty low and I don't think id ever bottomed out on the can. I suppose it could happen, but I've only hit bottom with my ANSA Exhaust a couple times. |
