TECHNICAL LIBRARY Tracking your car and the M96 Engine Oil System Considerations - continued. There are several options for addressing oil starvation and oil aeration. As it’s recommended to run the oil fill approximately ½ a quart low to reduce the load on the AOS, for those autocrossing, the addition of a ½ quart deep sump and X51 baffle is typically enough protection for the M96 engine. For track use, the addition of a 2 quart deep sump with X51 baffle is the most cost effective solution. The addition of 2 quarts of oil along with improved baffling and M97 oil returns improves oil system performance even under sustained G forces. To improve scavenging from the cylinder heads, Porsche once offered an extra oil pump for the cylinder head to help return the oil to the sump faster. Although no longer available, LN Engineering offers two versions of this tandem scavenge pump for those wanting additional insurance. But most important are “the 4 R’s”, as Lake Speed Jr. from Joe Gibbs Driven says: the Right oil, at the Right time, Right place, and Right amount is key to keeping the M96 and M97 engine happy at the track. Even if you are only taking your street car to a DE and not racing your car, you are still putting extreme demands on your engine’s internals. Use of a race oil is cheap insurance, however be aware a race oil is only good for about 500 miles and should be changed out after every event to a street oil that has the proper detergents and corrosion inhibitors. Bilt Racing Service uses Joe Gibbs Driven XP9 exclusively in track cars. Street oils, like the factory fill, is not up to the task of protecting your M96 engine on the track!
