Although maintaining oil temps is important, this thread was addressing the issue of oil movement in the pan to one side on a banked roval track or high G turns, thus possibly starving the engine of oil because the oil pickup is not submerged in oil.

Concerning oil temps, I have not logged any before/after oil cooler data...I dont even have an oil temp gauge installed lol.
