So no. It's not a for sure thing and if the oil circulates even monthly the chances of additive fall out are less than slim.
Insols are more likely to fall out again depending on how long the oil sits before circulating.
Your making an issue out of something that isn't.
If it will fall out eventually it will always be falling out. You will never ever ever circulate all the oil through an engine no matter how small the sump is. There fore there will always be something at the bottom of the sump that was once suspended in the oil. The more oil there is the less the oil is moved. Less movement allows more separation. It is an absolute.
And as I have stated over and ove, It isn't going to make much difference. I am not making an issue out of it. It is something that will happen and it is something that would be negative even though it will cause a miniscule amount of harm,
Would you guys freak out if I said that you never get 100% of the old oil out when you change it and that means you engine still has some of the very first oil that was ever put in it still in it and that there is a higher concentration of the heavier that oil additives in the bottom of the pan than in the oil passages?
