Default RE: Why more oil in a bushed engine?

I run with 30% castor for plane bearings and 20% for ball bearings. I've always figured that the total area of the bearing surface in a bushed engine required the higher percentage of castor oil when compared to a an engine with two or even just one ball bearing ring.

What is the lowest percentage of oil you would feel comfortable running in plain bearing model diesel engine?
