[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16262405, member: 138028"] The oil is for both, cooling and lubricating all components whether it's the engine or the turbos. The basic topic was oil capacity seeing that the new Shelby is wet sump and 11 quarts vs. if they went dry sump they probably wouldn't need that much oil to do the job. With the FGT having 15+ quarts DS lubing and cooling that EB TT engine it's probably necessary to have that major amount of oil for that engine just to make sure the oil will circulate through the turbos and not have the oil heated up too much. Heat dissipated over 15 quarts of oil will be better than the same amount of heat dissipated over only 6 quarts (even though the regular 3.5 EB isn't making the same power or spinning the turbos as much as the FGT EB engine).
