Fully redesigned for 2025, the Wilhelm Raceworks oil pan baffle for the 2GR-FE V6. Designed to reduce oil starvation due to hard cornering, while being both cost effective and easy to install. Consists of laser cut aluminum baffles designed to keep oil in the sump without restricting the flow of oil back to the sump. Data from my own track and autocross sessions with the 2GR-FE has shown oil pressure drop on right hand turns, which this helps to correct. I recommend over-filling the pan by about a half quart (1/4" to 1/3" on the dip stick) for best results. See this article for more detailed information.

The baffle will not fit with the oil level sensor found on some (mostly Lexus) 2GR-FE motors.

The goal behind this baffle is to keep oil in the sump as much as possible, without restricting the flow of oil back to the pickup. As discussed in my blog, adding more baffles in the pan can lead to a situation where oil is sucked out faster than it can be replenished, and so this baffle takes a different approach. The graphics below illustrate this approach using an approximate cross section of the 2GRs oil pan at the location of the pickup. At 1g lateral, the oil in the pan is subject to equal forces sideways and downward, and so it will tend to achieve a 45° angle in the pan.

By adding a lip around the top of the pan at the joint between the upper and lower pans, that 45° line is shifted sideways, keeping more oil around the pickup.
