what do you know took me 2 seconds to find

It's main benefits are from improved oil wear (from increased capacity), and plugging up an oil port on cyl 2 (iirc) that's used to oil the balance shaft. It also improves throttle response, and removes a fair amount of spun weight from the crank. Only cons IMO are increase vibes, and that varies from car to car. Most don't have issues with it at all.

Before we take it to a new direction, I have an update.

First, phillyb is an amusing but incompetent loser. You fucked up your own MS3. I'm not going to listen to you and fuck up mine.

Second, finally was able to reach the previous owner and what do you know, I have a balance shaft delete. YAY? Seems good after seeing what you all have posted here. Never noticed the increased vibration myself. This explains the 7 quarts.

I read just over half on the dipstick when the engine is cold. When hot it reads about 2mm over "max" . Not sure if i should have them drop a half a quart or not or if it's kosher to just leave it. They say they put a solid 7 quarts in. No more, less.

Cheers
