Why would you figure that?

It doesn't have an oil pump to send pressurized oil to the gears..........relies on strictly the splash from the ring gear passing through the sump. Four ounces represents approx. 15% of the fluid capacity, but may represent 30% of the available fluid that can splash (the remainder sits below the ring gear).
