Oil slosh a problem?
« on: November 07, 2007, 04:29:45 AM »

I see the Neon guys have problems w/ sloshing the oil around and starving the engine of oil in hard cornering. Do the Avengers have this problem too or no? I know the pan is different, kinda looks like it would be a bit more resistant to slosh.

I've never had a problem with it either, and I've never heard anyone on here reporting a problem with it.

Sweet, no need for the $300+ windage screen and scraper they're talking about over there  Smiley

Cool. How'd it look? is it in the pan, or bolt to the block? Do we just have a windage tray, or does the pan have baffles in it too?

There is a problem with it. Most people dont notice it till the "IDIOT" low oil pressure light comes on.
If you have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and no windage tray its clear when you corner.

Its usually  a problem for people that dont keep an eye on their cars. Low oil would mean its even worse.

If your car doesnt leak that bad and you dont take corners at 60mph, you probably have not noticed it.

yeah my car has a slow leak and by the time i need to change my oil if i take a hard corner my oil light will flicker a bit, nothing too bad about 1/2 a quart per 4000 miles.

and sharp curve at about 30-35 that does it, or a right angle at 25-30
