Once you add sticky tires to the car, the oiling issue becomes a bigger deal on the M96 engine.
Besides this forum, check the Cayman registry and planet 9--both have lots of comments on this topic.
I've heard of the deeper pan
Don't know what a swirl pot is
I used LiquiMoly Mo2 10-40 as suggested by the wrench
I noticed the water temp never got over 190 so I can't imagine the oil got overly hot, wouldn't the water follow?

I guess I need to do much more research before hiring someone to do the next motor, clearly this guy under prepared me and the motor.
