Just curious, but what would the advantage of using this pan be over a stock pan? Obviously it can hold more oil, but what's the advantages of that? Sorry I'm a noob with engines, thanks

I would think that if you rev your engine to higher rpms, it would lessen the chance of sucking the pan dry. Also, since it has more oil, it may keep the engine a little cooler. Im just guessing here, so dont make any decisions off of what I say

High volume oil pump+more oil=happy engine
