At least those are the three concerns I've seen voiced with the lubrication system of the FA20.

You know any new systems for the oil that are out or in development? Just minor upgraded ones. I wouldn't step too far into the dry sumping territory because I think it'll take the car's daily drive ability. In the winter time I can drive and arrive to work after 20 minutes and the engine wouldn't be fully warmed up. I fear if it becomes dry sumped, cooling would inprove and it would never reach operating temp.
