Yeah, accusump will be next if the baffle isn't enough. I am still toying with the idea of moving away from the FA though so I am not too committed to any decision right now. I've had my cursor over the buy button on many a K series lately

Mechanical Sympathy goes a long long way, especially for a car with a motor as funky as the boxer.
Drive it for 15-20 minutes before thrashing it, and keep in mind if you're driving a car that doesn't have an oil temp gauge that your coolant temp will reach it's max plenty before your oil is near being fully warmed up. I never got costumed to banging my car off redline in any of my enthusiast cars. Especially on the street and doing casual mountain driving or back roads I never felt the need to impersonate an F1 driver. I always shift around 6,500 if im really "pushing" the car. All of this though is completely subjective. Change your oil every 3,500 to 5,000 depending on your driving habits. Changing your oil is the cheapest insurance policy for your engine. 6QT Mobil / Castrol / Penzoil / Whatever & a Tokyo Roki should be less than $45 USD at most. Enjoy the drive! These cars were made to be driven. I know plenty of folks who regularly race and track their first gen cars who are well over the 100,000 mile mark on original transmission and engine with no fear or worries. Again, mechanical sympathy goes an extremely long way. I feel like 8 out of 10 times we see a car on here that has randomly died prematurely it's due to driver negligence. motors don't just die. There's always a reason. Rod knock at 50k this, Rod knock at 60k that. Show me their driving habits and they'll speak for themselves.
