        So, since Dennis is not  responding for whatever reason I will try
to explain.  It was Dennis who  initially brought up this idea of keeping
the oil level at the mid way point  between the MIN and MAX mark on the
dipstick.  His reason was that through  extensive testing it was found that the
oil temperatures stayed lower at this  level rather than at the MAX level.
This he conjectured was due to  frothing of MORE oil in the crankcase.
Hopefully he will see this ongoing  discussion and chime in with his expertise and
set the story straight.
