Thanks Jake,

so is there an engine oil that works in my "Daily driver" / "weekend racer" ?
When the oil gets to 250 I see the oil pressure drop

Hmmm looks like you are headed for an oil cooler

Yep, what I was thinking was to use the LN Engineering oil cooler adapter Superior oil cooling when tracking your Boxster, Cayman, or 911 model Porsche. and mate it to something like this: Derale Cooling Products 15830 - Derale Performance Econo-Cool Remote Fluid Coolers with Fans - Overview - SummitRacing.com
I would put it in place of the existing engine bay fan (passenger side), but really haven't figured out all the details. And we all know the devil's in the details ....

I think Jake is reluctant to recommend a oil on a forum, but Joe Gibbs DT40 is flat6innovations approved & now available.
