Oil pressure troubles

[BrokeG8owner]

Anyone able to help me, Everytime i take the car into the paddock and slide around about I'm losing oil pressure. Within 5minutes the oil pressure(around 300) basically swaps with the temp(107-112norm op temp). A friend has suggested cleaning the oil pick up but want to get a concrete diag before removing the sump....

maybe you have "slid it around the paddock" once too often!

I've only done it a handful of times and I don't sit on the limiter or anything excessive....very gentle in my opinion.

Problem Solved. Speaking to my engine builder a few weeks ago regarding Drifting, Racing and the like, long story short, mate you're on borrowed time already. Low oil pressure kills engines.

The baffle looks like it could be a life saver, thanks a million!! Was also wondering if it was an oil issue after hearing castrol is offshore n **** now, apparently??

What oil do you guys run?

Penrite 10W-70. My car has cam, heads etc so that one works quite nicely.
