Message	there was a post John Yim made about a bearing going while Drifting... niXit made the comment that he runs over for stuff like that, a full quart... and that he always runs it that way, and has for a while... I've started to do the same... Z runs better, ticks less. You could potentially blow a seal... just don't rev to high when the oil is cold.
