Most of the time the only time you hear of anybody using such scappers in the oil pan is in competion cause there is such small gains , & in competion you need every little bit. when the crankshaft rotates at high RPM's it creates a balloon of oil that the crankshaft has to rotate through, the object is to disturb this balloon , or remove it so the crank doesn't have to rotate through it.
Well, every new stock DaimlerChrysler engine that I looked at had scraper tech in it. I have pictures, of course. But that's part of the B.S. at the website.
Seriously, there is absolutely no need to reference racing to prove the technology is considered sound engineering by professional automotive engineers. That patent from G.M. on the site illustrates that it is considered common background knowledge for experts in the field of windage control.
