Old - No Ventage
New - Ventage through screw on cap
when i fitted that old catch tank i binned it off straight away and just pointed the hoses to the floor, which then i found out gave me a wheel arch full of oil at oulton park, all inside the nearside R888 too lol
was breathing like a bastard at Oulton, Oil was like water in the temproary catch tank on that day at 140+ degrees, some people said i needed thicker oil, some people said a baffled sump will help, and obviously a oil cooler will, so ive stuck with the same standard 5w30 oil as the pressure was still good even at 140+ degrees and obviously fitted a baffled sump and a 13-row cooler, see how i get on on the next trrackday
