[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 589889, member: 3541"] Is the tuner/engine builder selling you the deep sump? If you're having overheating problems on the motorway you've got issues elsewhere, such as ignition timing and missing tinware, etc. A stock engine won't need a deep sump, it will take much longer for the oil to come up to normal operating temperature, and there's no factual evidence of fitting one reducing the oil temperature. Your oil cooler is much much better at cooling oil than an aluminium plate with fins. If you feel the need for extra oil capacity why not go for a full flow setup, that will add another litre or so of oil to the system and provide proper oil filtration at the same time. Then it's easier to add an external cooler if required. [/QUOTE]
