    Engine oil level

    My mechanic mentioned that I should keep my oil level in between Min and Max. I have always kept it at the Max level. I use Castrol Syntec 15-50.
    Where do you all keep your levels at and why?

    I keep mine at the min level. I like to go fast around the corners. If the level is higher it sloshes back into the air cleaner. Any more pics of your car?

    Nothing but problems when I ran max. As soon as I ran 1/2 way between max and min all problems ceased.
