That's about right. Most 911s will get in and around that range for the rears, but that depends on how aggressively you drive, and your alignment setup. Throw in track days and an aggressive alignment, I'd imagine you'd get in and around 10K.

I think I got about 20000km on my set of tires on the M3. I'd say they would be fairly comparable.

i dont know if its just my luck but i had to deal with 2 brz/86 in the last few months and they both had oil pressure issues. One ended up needing an engine and the other one needed an oil pump.

Any root cause as to why or what caused the oil pressure issues?

Does this problem exist for all model years? Or just the latest ones?
Do any solutions, be it factory or aftermarket, address or remedy this issue?

It's the new ones, the 2.4 engine.
My friend has a BRZ from new right when it came out, he's done a few oil changes and there's always some RTV on the pickup.
I suppose one remedy would be to take the pan off and remove all the RTV and then re-do it all.
He's tracked his car a couple times too, only finding about the oil starvation problems (not related to RTV, there's also problems on cornering with oil sloshing away from the pickup) after the fact but he must be pretty lucky between the 2 problems to not have had an issue yet... he's scared to continue tracking it though, which is kinda lame cuz it's sort of the point of having it haha

I've heard of people pulling the pan off of brand new ones and redoing it. It should be easy enough to do on a car like that.

The insurance on the new 2.4 is to pull the pan, clean it, add baffles and then do your track days. It's a few hundred dollars to save yourself the potential headache of having to fight Subaru/Toyota about it down the road.

I want the Trueno edition coming out and plan to track it should I be successful in getting one.
[Edit] I want to say I have little to no chance in getting one.

I've heard the baffles didn't work? There's a YT channel where they did a lot of work with custom oil pans and their custom oil pan actually failed inside and blocked oil lol... solution killed the engine.

It’s funny cuz Toyota is Subarus largest shareholder. Subaru is basically toyotabaru and can’t do anything with daddy Toyota giving them the green light.

Because Subaru doesn't have a DCT or auto, they don't have the engineering chops. Hence why the GR twins are using an aged Aisin 6-speed.

Based on YouTube testing at A27, On the FA24 it's nothing an accusump ($500) can't fix. Can also overfill by a quart if your'e really concerned.
