Resolving a potential issue with the Lotus Exige S today for when I take it to the track, oil starvation in the Toyota 2ZZ engine. This is a common problem which is not too difficult to fix. The new baffled sump also provides an addition litre of oil capacity which is nice to have.
So I purchased an EliseParts baffled sump and changed the oil and oil filter at the same time as well! Needless to say there were some surprises waiting for me as usual…

Just found your channel – Nice and clear tutorial. I've bought a SeriouslyLotus baffled sump to fit to my 111R SC that I need to get around to fitting.
Finding 2 oil filter seals – Classic!! It’s safer to remove studs with a stud puller, bit like a socket, very easy to use and will not damage the block sealing face. Not expensive to add to the tool kit given the extensive work you are doing.
Just binged this build. I remeber seeing this car on trademe and fell in love. So glad the car has found a great owner whos taking care of it, doing it all right and sharing with all of us. Love your work bro maybe I'll see this car on the auckland roads soon. Cheers Mate
Nice video. Didn't realise you can remove those studs, I'll be doing this once I refit my EP sump.
Thank you very much for the added value of your work keep on doing this salutations from the exact opposite of your Country
