Its good to know the best preventive maintenance for our IMSB is, change oil frequently and change oil before putting away for long term storage.

On the matter of oil level does any one actually know where the oil level is relative to the IMSB?
Pelicans instructions, for IMSB replacement, tell us to have a drain pan ready when removing the chain tensioner plugs thats after having drained the oil and removed the filter. These chain tensioners are pretty close to being in the same plane as the bottom of the IMSB.
A rebuilt engine takes almost 11 quarts of oil. Normal oil change and filter is almost 9 quarts of oil, this is a healthy quantity of oil. Where is the oil level?
The oil level is about 1/3 to 1/2 way up the IMS bearing when the car has sat for a bit.
