Does anyone have some threads they could point me to where it talks about this. I can't find anything under a search. The new owner of my car would like to read why this is important.

Torch10th said:The main issue is that the heads trap a LOT of oil in them during operation, especially high rpm operation.
Throw in a sustained high lateral acceleration turn and you end up starving the crank and thus the main and rod bearings of oil.
The bearings used in these engines absolutely do not like to be starved of oil.
So, on the street I always ran 6.5 quarts and added an additional half quart when out on track.
