How in the hell do you check your oil level with a set-up like this? Or even with the factory -6 set-up?

On mine (the orange panel on the bottom) I tend to only do it on cold starts below about 60F. It really helps get the oil pressure down to a passable level before I hit the freeway on a cool CA morning. I'd say not necessary, but nice to have.
Now I need to figure out how to run it at an event! The fall and winter events here cool the oil down below 100F between sessions and the temp will not move just idling in the paddock. Going from 0 - 7000+ RPM for 55 seconds may not be the best thing for cool oil... I've considered bringing an inverter and running it off my battery or a support cars battery. |
