"Eine Trockensumpfschmierung verhindert das Pantschen im Getriebeöl und garantiert eine effiziente Versorgung aller Bauteile mit Öl."

aeration or foaming
Explanation:
Panschen:
"Zu viel Öl: Bei einem stark überhöhten Füllstand
kann die Kurbelwelle in den Ölstand eintauchen
(„Panschen“) und große Mengen an Ölnebel im
Kurbelgehäuse verursachen, die über die Gehäusebelüftung
in den Brennraum gelangen.
Die Folgen sind eine geringere Leistung, eine
unsaubere Verbrennung und hohe Emissionen.
Im ungünstigsten Fall können Dieselmotoren
unkontrolliert hochdrehen, da der Ölnebel dann
als Kraftstoff fungiert, ohne dass das Gaspedal
betätigt wird."

aeration/foaming:
"Foaming in oil is mainly due to the accumulation of small air bubbles at the surface of the lubricant. It is caused by excessive agitation, inadequate levels of lubricating oil, air leaks/ingress, contamination or cavitation. Foaming is an undesired phenomenon in engines, hydraulics, turbines and cooling systems."
https://mfame.guru/watch-out-foaming-in-lubricating-oils/

"A light, yellow foam on your dipstick, particularly in cold weather, could indicate aeration in your oil pan -- typically a result of overfilling the engine with oil. Spinning crankshaft counterweights work as a very efficient blender, quickly whipping air and oil into a meringue-like foam."
https://itstillruns.com/mean-oil-car-white-foamy-12162244.ht...

"The foaming is caused by the crankshaft dipping into the oil pool. The dipstick max oil level is well below the crankshaft. Think eggbeater. "

agree  Kim Metzger: Also adulteration
19 mins
  -> Yes. Thanks.

disagree  thefastshow: Panschen here does not seem to refer to the adulteration of motor oil. Note the source: "das Pantschen IM Getrieberöl" Also contamination is only one factor leading to foaming of the oil - Hence foaming would be more adequate in this context.

the sloshing


Explanation:
When the oil sloshes around it can inhibit smooth flow and functioning.

disagree  Kim Metzger: Where did you find "sloshing" for panschen? / I think you mean "planschen".
2 mins
  -> deepl, also splashing on linguee but I think sloshing makes more sense.

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: Kim asks a legitimate question. Any more input? // So where?
