Sbc Bullet oil pump

How do you "suck a pan dry"?

The oil has to go somewhere. Even if the pan only contains five quarts of oil the oil cannot remain in the motor. It must return to the pan.

I recall some research from many years ago. A small block Chevrolet only holds about a quart. The rest is on its way back to the pan.

If oil sloshes around in the motor, you have other issues. Add more oil or decide why it sloshes.
