I also did the engine oil pump nut fix, but it was completely superfluous. The nut was on there tight with some loctite. Once it was loosened, I unfortunately didn't have a choice. I think there's a higher chance of it coming undone now that I've "fixed" it.
Putting in Liqui Moly instead of Mobil 1 made a difference. I can't believe I ever put Mobil 1 in my car.
The baffle itself I'm still meh on for the one time a year I take it to a track day. Had to buy at torch and suffer through the heat trying to get it on. Not really worth it; Maybe just overfill with oil? I dunno, next track day it'll be good. Next job is going to be all the bushings in the rear end.
