Oil level for trick days

[TV8]

Not sure if it was my imagination or not but I recal reading having a bit of extra oil in the engine to reduce the risk of oil surge. Is this recommended please?

Track days even.....

I wouldn't.

I just make sure it's fully topped up.

Most people I've spoken to run about 5mm above the max line to try and prevent oil surge.

Guess who didnt heed this advice last time out and had a lucky escape ..... nearly st myself when the engine suddenly started sounding like a bag of spanners after a hard braking straight into a 90 deg right, hard on the gas then hard braking then another 90 deg right..clatter clatter clatter !!!

Exactly, 5mm is good, worked for me over a good number of TDs.

Don't worry Graham, I'll look after you, (as long as it doesn't rain!).
