low oil pressure on the track - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

just to re-iterate:
I have the LN Engineering deep sump, which should help with oil starvation in high g-forces (I think the other thread is very informative about this), but the deep sump has no impact at all on the issue I am experiencing which is general drop in oil pressure when the engine gets really hot

It's not your weight. It's your lateral g-forces acting against you. Go with a deep-sump system and you'll be golden.

Then I too would say - Accusump. But I see you're covering this on the other thread, so you already know this. Disregard.

Look into whether there is a way to tell if your oil cooler is functioning as it should. I have heard of problems ...rarely though

You may have to play with the oil you are using

Redline water wetter may give you additional cooling assuming your cooling system is working properly...I have it in my car

I think you have the low temp thermostat already

Change or verify that your oil pressure transducer is giving you the right information....what did you do to get it shown in your car?
