Re: [Chrysler300] Old wife's (mechanics) tales

I think that's not quite right, Paul.
It's called a Windage Tray because it keeps the WIND created by the 
spinning crank from foaming and aerating the oil.
The crank never actually hits the oil unless it's overfilled. Spinning 
at 6K+ rpms can fog the oil and actually pull it up around the spinning 
parts and maybe starve the pump.

Ok I do not recall anyone mentioning this,

  when the crankcase is FULL , the crank (in motion) smacks into
  the pooled oil, casting the spray up on the lower cavities of the
  block, cooling and oiling are the expected results of this action.
