Oil system myths

It wasn’t Tim Melling (don’t even know if there is. Tim Melling...I just don’t know) it is Tim Foster and he says what I already know.

An oil pump can not suck a pan dry unless the total leaks in the system are greater than the supply in the sump.

You can bolt on a pump with 100% more volume and the oil flow through the engine is the same. You may get more oil to the system sooner, and the system pressure my be higher (depends on the relief valve spring rate, although you can override the valve and spring) but you will not force more oil through the system. Oil will not compress.

I've argued for years and a lot right here on this forum that pans cannot be sucked dry, but been argued into the ground.
