351 C oil pressure issue

[WBofTN]

keith: my filters are mounted low on the front cross
member, so I agree the only drain back should be from the high points of the oil line. I will try your suggestion this weekend.
Phil:
Not spooked here - both you guys make good points.
At least neither of you said "just listen till you
hear knocking or tappet noises - then add a quart"
None of you commented on synthetic oil, Maybe a bigger
can of worms???
All I can say a/b synthetic is: Its Damn slippery stuff.

Well I tried your suggestion - checking the oil level
within 30 sec. of shutting off the engine.
You are correct - Level was lower than the cold level.
To the tune of a/b a 1/4 qt. So, Its not a major issue
in IMHO, but is something to watch for.
