It's been said before, but if you are running a 6 pint Nippy sump you will struggle to get the oil up to temperature on all but long, fast runs. Better to part fill it.
I confess I've run a Nippy with deep sump for donkeys' years without it once crossing my mind that it should have a longer dipstick!!
