Same level fill up is fine. Just make sure to check oil level every time you take her out. Which oil are you using?

the 6mm taller is the deck height, ie from crank CL to head surface.

Good choice. Using the same. Did countless tuning sessions, street driving and drag. Never had a complain. Amsoil is the 2nd choice.

Didn't had a chance to use redline engine oil. Have used it in transmission. Motul 300v is another good choice. Couple of friends are using liquiy moly 10w40.
