I have a deep sump and X-51 steel baffle, and I don't monitor the oil pressure beyond the warning light, because that is all you need, right?

This issue inherent with the M96 is one reason why I only use 200 treadwear tires (Hankook RS4).

I believe Oil quality is the top priority. I use DT-40.

Oil quality means nothing if it doesn't get where it needs to go

Oil getting where it needs to go is the easy part, staying there is the goal.
