Super high oil temps will effect the oil pressure with 0w20 from what others have recorded but pressure demands are a lot lower for 180 whp than what turbo guys will see. Last season 10w40 worked well for me up to 350 whp and 7500 rpm.
ya im planning to get a oil psi gauge and maybe a oem forester oil cooler. on a ~70 degree day it was tracking at 230deg oil temp and coolant at 200 so i think a little coolant ring around the filter should cut it
