would it make any differants if the car was sitting on a bit off a hill and was sitting running on idle with most off the oil sitting at the front off the engine
bit of advice the max line is there because thats the maximum you can fill it too,it doesn't have to be on the max all the time,you usualy find theres a litre between min and max,goin over the max does not make it run any better and can do damage to an engine,get a proper oil gauge on there and check that its makin the right pressure at cold start up,warm and 2k revs
other than that its take oil pump out and check for wear,i ate 2 oil pumps coz i put a powder coated rocker on my car and it was still all swarf on the inside,which was bein flushed round my oil pump,after 2 oil pumps ate it was then a full bottom end rebuild as it eventually wore the bores,so a bit costly for a nice rocker cover
