Ah, let's see now, 43 gallon remote sump. Has to be remote 'cause it
won't fit under the engine. At 3.5 quarts per change at 2500 miles,
whether it needs it or not, that would be equivalent to 49+ oil changes,
or about 122,500 miles between draing the sump. That's assuming zero oil
consumption or no oil leaks. Mmmmm, better refigure that and also find
out how the car will handle with 43 gals of motor oil. <G>
