So today i got to go for a 40 mile trip, 20 to and 20 from, on the freeway. The outside air temp was 34f. The new oil system worked great with no dripping from tank cap seals or hose fittings. No pressure in the tank, 4-1/4 qt. of oil and the thermostat on the oil cooler never turned on engaging the oil cooler.

The oil temps inside the oil in the tank slowly climbed to 166f meaning the cooler never turned on, it does turn on at 186f.

I also was testing for the first time the new ECU from G56. It fired right up and by the time i returned home after 40 miles the machine was running also as smooth as oem. I suspect after 100 more miles it will be purring. Noticeably more power.
