Add oil one liter at a time and you can index mark the levels on the tube with tape or a marker. We did this all the time while running engines on a dyno to watch what level the oil dropped to at different RPM’s in order to make sure it stays away from the crank for windage control, but deep enough to keep the wet sump oil pump pickup covered. That is how I know an LS engine can drop to two quarts left in the pan at 5kRPM, and that the IMS bearing is not in the oil on an M96 engine when it is running.
So yes, you can acutally check the water level in a running washing machine if you put your mind to it. Have a good evening..............

Ok, that makes sense, so something similar to the way you`d measure the float level in a carburetor, if I understand correctly. Sorry, if I went too far with all these questions, or with questioning the status quo, but I always try to go deep into something that`s unclear to better understand it, that`s my very nature. Thanks for taking the time by the way to answer my posts, I learnt a lot actually. All the best.
