Not sure if this is the right place for this inquiry, but here goes...
New to me - Sports racing car, mid-mounted BMW M3 engine, dry sumped. Drained the oil pan and feed lines to oil pan. Refilled with (ultimately) 3 gallons of oil. Cranked engine with ignition off to distribute oil, checked tank for level, repeat until level seemed secure. Car has been sitting for months and now the oil level is way down in the tank. Car has no oil leaks, and as I understand it, a sitting dry sump car's oil level will seek equilibrium over time. If so, how does one get the tank oil level back to 'normal' at this point? Cranking the engine (ignition off) does not seem to have any effect on tank level.
General dry sump oil change routine procedure would also be of use for my personal database.
Thanks in advance.
