yeah I'd read that before on here about not running with it up to the
full mark.. just something I've got to convince myself about as my T3
never blew out a drop of oil.. but there again it had a sump extension
and the sump looks deeper on a T3 anyway - guess that helps to stop the
oil getting whipped up by the crank and stops the breathing????

I never fill the oil above the half way mark, anything above that gets
turned into an oil mist by the spinning crank & gets blown out the
breather.
