English term or phrase: so much depth and oil
Typical engine configurations are limited to a 30-degree or 70-percent slope for lubrication of the engine. Make sure that you are not exceeding that gradation for long periods of time. You only have so much depth and oil in your sump. On severe slopes, it’s hard for the engine to pump that oil to the top of the motor. This results in starvation to the top of the engine and reduces engine life expectancy.
