I am trying to get my Vibe back out on the dirt for some RallyXs and did really good last time placed 3rd in Stock FWD. But now I want to push harder and the RallyX courses around me look like a lot more intense. I am just trying to prepare the car, and I have heard the 1zz have an oiling issue, i found a Moroso pan but its $500! Is there any cheaper way to handle this or am I just overthinking and this isnt a real issue? Anything else maybe an Trans cooler?

Run a 1/2 L higher than recommended?
It takes quite a bit to generate significant g-forces on dirt. Most of the time you are going to slide and the g's drop off.
ok thanks that what i did last time, I was just checking because the new course do have some pavement sections and i may take it to an autocross or 2
Wouldn't any oiling issue be caused from longish sweepers more than from the quicker jostling in most AutoX courses?
The lateral G's experience, as mentioned above would be of a much shorter duration. Perhaps too short to cause the motor to starve.
