First thing I did when I got my Boxster s for the track was to add 1/2qt deep sump and EBS baffle plate.

I run amsoil 20w/50 racing oil.

As mentioned earlier I also added oil pressure and oil temp gauges.

I run my oil fairly full. I'd risk an aos issue before spinning a bearing or collapsing a lifter.

I also went with a under drive pulliy to protect my power steering pump.

Not a fool proof plan, but I'm hoping it's good enuf for now .
