[Land-speed] An Oily Question...

[drmayf]

Just for curiosity sake, just how much oil is actually pumped through a 
motor say during a run of 5 miles at  some nominal speed? I know that 
the oil pump in my wet sump bypasses a lot of oil so it mush have lots 
more capability than actually needed    Anyone ever done an experiment 
where they hook up their dry sump return oil to a separate tank and just 
see how much oil is pumped per second? Or minute or?  Or is there a web 
site somewhere I might go look for answers.  I have a project in mind 
where I want to pump oil through the motor once only and I am trying to 
guess how big an oil tank might be needed for a run of about 2 minutes 
plus some reserve.
