Thread: LS2 Oil Level

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    If I am not mistaken AI is not allowed to run accusump. The dash has a low oil level light that blinks that I can not see due to my TraqMate but it would say low oil. I installed an oil pressure gauge and it never shows low oil pressure when the low oil level light comes on. Currently I am running a stock pan with most likely homemade baffles in it. The previous owner says they modified it. I do have breather hoses on each valve cover.

    AI is allowed an accusump. So is CMC. AI is not allowed a dry sump because the flatter pan would allow you to lower the engine.

    I seem to learn things I should already know every day. Thanks for clarification Richard, I am re-learning what everything is again. I may go with the Accusump if money and time allows before Nationals. Any recommendations on a good unit and size for an LS2?

    I have a used one in the garage. I believe they are a pretty standard size like 3 quarts or something. I wonder if the previous owner used an Improved racing baffle or something to that effect. There are a few places on the tracks in Texas that I have seen it dump before and I'm slow. It's a bandaid but it has seemed to work.

    Moroso makes a really good roadrace pan for LS motors that's what I'm running on mine, no oil issues at all!

    Kevin,
    Get the larger of the two Accusump... Just gives you more time before it emptys. The beauty of them is you never know when they are working, except that you never see the oil pressure light.
