oil pick up is the biggest FAIL...
the other stuff
tray
pan
windage
etc
are a bonus...

Is it worth upgrading the pan as well as the pickup? I would have ordered the killer b pickup if my car wasn't already in pieces at Subaru. Oh well I'll just wait a few years and upgrade before my replacement one fails.

I'm considering a getting an oil pressure gauge now. The oil pressure light is completely pointless based on how little pressure there has to be before it turns on (and it doesn't even throw a CEL when it does!). I think in my case the pickup hadn't failed completely so maybe I would have picked up on a drop in oil pressure sooner. I reckon my pickup probably didn't break in two until they pulled it off the car.
