N57 oil starvation

tonksie93 · 05-04-2026, 07:42 AM

Going to start tracking my 330D soon. Does the N57 suffer from oil starvation when cornering hard?

Could I benefit from a baffled sump?

Thanks

It's a ~1.8T car, not a track weapon.

Don't overthink it. No need for a baffled sump, or dry sump, or anything like that.

Focus on enjoying the sessions. If you really want to spend money then prioritise brakes, tyres, suspension, then power, in that order.
