Some vehicles have windage trays, and oil squirters for the cylinder walls, thus negating the need for crank splash. Mazda used them in a few cars back in the day, and few now. Then someone went and made crank scrapers, just a few mm off the crank to clean most the oil off. Mostly done for HP, but I'm sure there was a FE gain as well.
