Reply to "Oils, cavitation and viscosity"

[/QUOTE]Or the 10 quart oil pan with the proper pick up and baffles in the pan probably accomplish the same thing ..[/QUOTE]


If cavitation is taking place 44 gallons of oil will not help, boat propellers cavitate and they are in an entire ocean of water. Also Maybe not everyone can fit a larger pan, i wish i could fit a 10 quart pan in my car.



[/QUOTE]one thing for sure if you have 2 pickups ( inlets ) and one runs dry ... you still have the pump sucking air ... and the second will surely not suck oil from the pan.[/QUOTE]

True.....the two pick up tubes would need to come together to the same pickup point and be connected to the same pickup.


[/QUOTE] So not sure what the basis of two inlet would accomplish ? Temperature and vaporizing are a major contributing factor. So maybe an oil cooler would help.[/QUOTE]


Two inlets would slow the velocity of the incoming oil by 50 percent and could feed the gerotor from both sides instead of just one side. Single inlet gerotors are more prone to cavitation.

Yes an oil cooler is always a good thing !
