Right, I know Demonworks youtube channel talked about the the new pan design, I just never knew when that came out but your right that in theory it should drain out more. The neighbor that has the 2022 model 3.0 drives his front end up on blocks and made the comment that it more than likely drains out better due to where the drain plug is situated to have the front end up on his series of truck. -
No, have not cut open any filters. Truly, I don't want to know. I'm treating the engine as if it's going to last and be kept a long time. For now, I'm doing short intervals during break-in which will gradually extend to about 3000-3500. I'm allowing this current interval to go 2,000 and change again at 5k. I use the access port to wiggle the flex plate like described in the TSB, and I watch for metal in the drain pan, but that's it. So far so good, but I'm not out of the forest yet. Most of the affected engines seem to fail before 10k. -
If I had to guess. I bet 20 per cent of people check their oil. I never see anyone checking their oil at gas stations. How many people have level driveways? -
I'm not sure if they allow less oil to remain with the new pan, or none at all. One benefit is the pickup tube remains submerged and primed with the old design. The sump allows for adding a full 7 quarts in the 3.0 even with the remaining oil left in the pan.

That's interesting about the oil splatter, makes sense though the thinner it is as it doesn't have the body as such to it that helps slow the flow slightly and also holds itself together better for a lack of a proper term. I've never handled 0W20 yet to experience what its like. I probably had asked this before but have you been cutting your filters open to see what shows up within the filter media. Certainly to begin with no doubt there would be a bit of something show up on that initial filter but after that there shouldn't be much, that is unless the thrust washer takes a dump and the crank shifts from end to end as that would show up as quite the spectacle in the filter.
