www.edmunds.com Test: 2009 Porsche 911 Engine Oil Sump Test Rig Location: Porsche Research and Development Center, Weissach, Germany. The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S mark the debut of Porsche’s latest flat-six engine architecture. During the development of its next-generation of engines, Porsche created a test rig to evaluate oiling system enhancements. This rig replicates the g-forces experienced by a 911 on the Nurburgring Nordschliefe circuit.

forget it was “taking the piss” fs
that`s the engine saund
the rig is stationary it cannot exceed 1G in any direction.
There’s going to be hardly any G-force in the rig – it’s just replicating the effect of it by sloshing the oil about. I presume they’re trying to see what happens if / when they starve the pump of oil.
@climenuts: it can! Acceleration + 1G on 90° and you get more force then only 1G. The engine is stationary in a car, too.
@TheBloedi81 but it’s not moving, so 1G is max in any direction. It doesn’t take six years of physics for me to figure that out.
What brand of oil does Porsche use?
Man that would suck if your balls got caught in that machine
1g ismax in any direction? a 45 degree angle of the engine would simulate 1 G of acceleration (or deceleration)
. think about it. hanging keys on your key chain. If you are pulling 1g lateral, the key chain will only be at a 45 degree angle, not horizontal (90 degree) . in fact, there is NO limit on this machine. it can never actually be horizontal, because of the vector force of gravity pulling straight down. 
Mobil1…factory fill.
@bcatz454
Thank you for naming the brand. Do you also know the viscostiy?
lolz honda civic engine couldn’t stand this test
0w-40
Porsche rules !! They have the best engines in the world by far…
@mistabiggz16 and why would you wana stick your balls in there? please tell me, i’m curious
@quellkoerper
Yeah my k20 would blow up as soon as it turned on it’s side
honda is cool, but their oil sumps are definitely no porsche
lovely…
The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the advantages of a dry sump lubrication system. A normal wet sump engine would probably fail this test. Most high performance engines these days have this kind of system. It’s purpose is to keep oil evenly distributed throughout the engine during extreme acceleration, braking and cornering. I’m pretty sure it costs more to manufacture than a conventional wet sump, that’s why you don’t see it in all cars.
The 996/997 (non GT2/GT3) motors are no longer dry sump. They do have better then average oil control but they have gone to a more of a mass market car.
I doubt that you will see any number of the wetsump cars go past 200k miles without a rebuild where it is common in the older SC anf Carrera models…
All Porsche engines used to use dry sump…
The 996 and 997 has a wetsump oil system except for the GT2 and GT3 versions. Do a Google search on “996 wet sump” and find out more…
@BorkCubed Well that sux… Ya, I was under the impression that the 997’s were dry sump.
The video is superb, but these comments are so funny I had tears rollin down my face!
Porsche 997 uses dry sump dude.
By “hardly any g force” do you mean REPLICATING THE NURBURGRING’s g forces?
By turning the engine over, you exert 1g +/- a few fractions of a g. Pretty darn similar to what happens when you slam on the brakes…
