Looks legit

Oddly enough, this is nothing new for dry sump systems.
The unfortunate part is that a dry sump system is not ideal for a road going car and very expensive.
We used to use something similar on the endurance cars. That way you could effectively change the oil my pulling the qd lines and new one goes in.

I have never heard of dry sump cars getting oil changed in 90 sec?
I guess it's similar in terms of not having oil pan, but I think this is a different system.

Yes, this system is a dry sump (that box contains the oil) however they have also added a filter element in the reservoir.

There are a number of IMSA and WEC cars that have quick change oil sump reservoirs. On those cars its just two dry break connectors and the reservoir is out and a new one can go in. Its a very cool system.

I've always wanted to go dry sump but never had a car worth spending that kind of money on.

why would you want/need a dry sump?
you don't really need it unless you have a race car that can pull lateral g for several seconds or you have an extremely low mounted engine that can't fit an oil pan underneath.

was that a subaru brz they were using as a demo in one of the scenes in the video?

^ @ 1:30 mark, that's a 86 or FR-S, BRZ doesn't come in orange.

90 sec oil change, still charges an hour+.

90 secs....why don't you just DIY ???

oil change doesn't really take up much time really, except for the drive over to the shop and whatnot. But that can all be eliminated if you ask some mobile guy to do it.

end of jiffy lube and other crap shops who hire crap techs to do a simple job

its all nice and dandy to have a oil box in the engine compartment near the Exhaust headers....one little accident enough to crack it and drip on that,its gonna be a engine fire.

What if you have to top up?

even if this becomes mainstream, the tech that is working on your car at a dealership will need to change the internals. and it wont be a "quick" change, what if the last person who had the "oil box" was late on their oil change ,you wouldn't want that in your car with a possible clog or sludge buildup.

You replace the whole unit.

Hard lateral G load is only one reason to use a dry sump system.

If you are building a turbo motor from one that is not turbo to begin with you can get come great benefits. The added oil capacity (as large as you like really) is an additional cooling fluid. You can also choose what oil pressure you want.

For instance, on cold start where you wa desire a higher oil pressure to negate metal on metal wear. Then you can drop it lower as the temps increase and oil pressure will naturally come up. Given that a dry sump system is driven from an electric motor you can do many useful things.

Dry sump will always provided better lubrication over a wet sump setup and thats the #1 reason to use it.
