I can post my oil analysis for comparison if you would like. My car has never been tracked, and only used as a daily driver, so it is a good baseline.

I agree. As long as oil is being delivered, you are fine, if you were starving the pump, you would know. Modern oils are usually temperature stable (~ 280 deg F max), if you want to ease your worry on seeing if your oiling system is working to spec, I would highly recommend doing oil analysis on...

The wedging effect on the crank multiplies the oil pressure by an extreme magnitude. I cannot recall the exact amount, but I believe it is x1000 over the pump pressure. This diagram explains it well. This is why the min spec before the oil light coming on is 14 psi for the k20c1. As long as the...

300 mile update is good news! I put the car onto the lift and could not find any oil. It was completely dry around the drain plug and bottom of the pan. The leak was coming from between the rear motor mount and the exhaust. It seems like it is gone with a reseal of the pan. I hope this...

Just got the car back from the dealer, they resealed. They told me to come back in a week to confirm the fix. I will update then as well!

My 2025 fl5 started making a similar noise to this last week. In the morning after sitting all night in my garage (~60F) it doesn't make the noise. But after work, or after sitting outside (80 - 90F) it does. Very odd... Does anyone know the cause? And if we are lucky, a solution?

My pan was clean at 700 miles when I did my first oil change, but had seepage at 4400 miles for the 2nd oil change, roughly 6 months after purchasing the car.

Gotcha, I authorized them to go ahead with the repair. I will keep you guys posted.

Update: Dealer is saying that their field tech has never seen an issue like this before, and will not replace the pan until they just do a reseal. I do not want to open the bottom end of this motor twice if a reseal doesnt fix it. From what you guys are posting, its a casting issue, not a...

I believe I have a similar oil leak. I have a 2025 FL5 with 5.2k miles on the odometer. I took it to a local dealership and had the car inspected. They couldn't identify the exact leak location, but suspect it is the oil pan as well. It seems very similar to @k20.dennis situation with oil on the...

Looks great. Does this increase back pressure notably? I had a mishimoto catch-can on my accord 2.0T, and it caused enough crankcase pressure to blow oil out of the dipstick. If not, im definitely buying one for my type r!
