You'll go real fast just before you blow it up! I had what I thought was a "minor" oil consumption problem in my AMX Stocker. The engine was sealed so no dip-stick. And I was lazy. I ran 3 10.500's in a row in D/S weight while local bracket racing. Then I put a rod through the pan. No oil on the track. I took it home, drained the oil. The filter had it's oil and there was about a 3/4 of a quart in the pan.
Normally under great conditions and 5 qts of oil in the pan it would go 10.55 to 10.60. So call it .08 for danger zone oil levels. After that I placed a 1" sight glass in the pan.
