i would agree with 'flyerncle' although if you can you need to keep the oil capacity the same as it was originaly
we just finished doing lubrication systems at college, some oil does need to be 'splash fed' up the cylinder walls to lubricate and cool them (oil provides up to 40% of the engine cooling) with a 'dry sump' system this is usualy sprayed up the cylinder walls.
but also be sure the strainer is always submerged in the oil so that there is a constant feed of pressurised oil to wherever it needs to be.
i would say and dont hold me to this bit that too much 'splash' is bad but not enough is bad aswell.
hope this helps a lil bit
