DT-40, although I don't think the brand has anything to do with oil pressure drop from hard cornering. That's caused by a poor design in the oil circulation system.

No, but I DO think that a "better" lubricant is likely to mask more dips in pressure than a "lesser" lubricant. Y'know?

I dunno..... maybe that's naive.

I´m certainly no Oil-expert, ut I do think that there might be a possibility to get less foaming with the right oil, thus better fill in the oil-pan. I run Mobil-1 5w-50, X51 baffles, OEM pan. Get some flickering pressure-lamp in hard cornering sometimes..

Reading all the great responses above, I think I might start by using the FVD 0,6l pan, if thats not enough, I guess the FVD-pan could easily be sold as used..

It can't hurt to have a good oil, that's for sure. But the root problem is still there.

For what it is worth I run XP9, have an LN deep sump and the oil pressure does vary widely. Pretty much the same as when I ran an X51 only.

Your gauge sampling rate will effect what dips you see. AIM will use 5-10hz for a pressure sensor, don't know about a VDO gauge.

If you do install a deep sump on a car that is run on the street, install some sort of sump guard. You won't regret it.

I don't think I ever had the wherewithal to catch oil pressure dipping in corners. I think gauge with a preset low level alarm would be what I would have done for track work

XP9 vs DT40.
Somebody? How does the nomenclature for Driven oils work?
